He was called up as insurance, and to make sure the Flames weren't short on numbers with defensemen. Can't just expect him to play right away, and I like to think Hartley has a pretty good idea of when he should play.

why do you say he didn't look NHL ready last year? I thought most comments here was that he looked NHL ready (or close)
and if you mean by "up and down" it was "down then upward as the season went on, after coming back from major shoulder surgery" then yes... from Conroy's mouth
