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

This. I doubt Granlund would be any worse, and I think he would actually add something that we need more of...an excellent NHL shot.
Raymond has got to be on his last legs in the organization, but they're really trying to give him a chance before cutting bait with him. I think that's only fair since they signed him to that contract, but at some point Treliving has to realize that he's not helping, and possibly hindering, the team.
Honestly, it would be ideal for him to start scoring and give the team the 10-15 goals minimum that they signed him for, but I don't see any signs of improvement from him. I know it's hard to get any momentum on the 4th line, but it's not good when guys like Derek Grant are passing you on the depth chart in the same limited minutes.
