This meant that he was only able to play 8 games all season due to the fact the Flames were too scared to lose him to waivers and send him to the AHL, but also too scared to give him the ice time to play on the big squad. This was poor asset management in terms of player development, and it entirely on the shoulders of Treliving/Sutter.

Wrong. Kylington passed through waivers Jan 11, 2021 during the Covid Year. So the Flames were prepared to lose him, Oliver only played 8 games because he did not deserve more.
