Remember, LTIR is a cap-relief mechanism that teams only use when they need to exceed the cap for replacement players. The Flames haven't needed to exceed the cap yet, so that's why he's not on LTIR. He is currently on regular IR, which is basically the same except it doesn't have cap-relief.

Yet I’ve seen “flames can’t call up x and had to call up y because they don’t have the cap space” posted numerous times on this site.
So has the cap situation prevented the flames from calling up who they want or not?
