Nothing to panic over or get worked up about, but I'd rather guys like MacDonald don't even get past the front door. Why tempt fate?

Not compliance per se, but you do need at least 12 defenceman for a split squad game. Flames currently have 6 on the roster not counting Valimaki. In the minors they have 3 guys who may or may not be around by the time those games come up. Plus guys like Gio don't need to be playing much preseason time.
