Not sure why Raymond is still with the Flames. Send him down and bring up Granlund FFS.

I want to like Raymond, I really do. And every time he's in the lineup I'm thinking "okay now he goes back to his 2009/10 version of himself, and has a career revival and helps the team win." Then he falls down after minimal contact, then he has a horrible giveaway in the O-zone, then he loses his man in the D-zone, etc. Raymond is only effective when he's scoring and that, unfortunately, doesn't happen anymore. He should be in the AHL or permanent press box until and injury replacement is needed, and even then, some of the prospects deserve a chance to be injury filler ahead of him.
