Right now the flames have only 22 healthy bodies(including Raymond), plus 3 injured... so it seems Byron would've fit. It is a moot point, but there were other options. Byron was still the 13th forward to start the season, and I don't think the press box really cares who sits in it.

Technically this would have worked, but would you really want to start the day with just 5 defensemen in town? When you send them down, they have to physically report, and if there were any travel delays it would have been pure chaos for opening night. I just don't think a GM in the NHL could take a chance on that happening. As for sending Bennett down...just no.
