If it is short term - Ferland takes Versteeg's spot on the Bennett line, Hamilton draws on on the 4th line. No call up needed.
If it will be longer, then Versteeg's 950K going on LTIR could absorb any callup, leaving Smid's LTIR still saved for a trade situation.
Flames have 2 games in 3 days, then 3 days off. So if they can roll with just the guys on the roster, they don't need to worry about a callup. If it will stretch beyond the 3 days off, then you place on LTIR and get a guy up practicing with the team.
