The other problem with trying to run with 21, is the cap. If you are really tight, and someone gets injured but not enough for LTIR (say they are out for a week or so), if you only have 21 because you are too tight to the cap to add, they could find themselves running short-handed for a while.
Referring to the Oilers here, as the Flames will probably have enough cap wiggle room for that not to be a problem
