Can someone clarify a question I have concerning call ups? I have read here that the Flames are at the bare minimum in regards to forwards and defencemen, to allow them to call up players in case anyone gets hurt without using one of the 4 non emergency call ups. I believe Hathaway was called up after the trade deadline so wouldn't he be considered an emergency call up since without him the Flames would be unable to ice a full roster?
I keep reading in this thread that he has taken up one of the four call ups but I don't understand why because without him the Flames would only have 11 forwards.
Am I misunderstanding the situation here?
