I would be mildly surprised if he plays on the trip.
He’s going in large part because as captain he will be part of the Flames contingent on deadline day. Iirc he was consulted on some moves the past years...and even though his thoughts or words could be done via phone and text, having the captain there in person, to convince the new guy to waive, and or greet the new guy coming in, and, to be there in person to say farewell to a current roster player, is much more preferable.
