I mean sure make a call on Hanley over Pelletier (or Schwindt if you prefer), but that shouldn't be the reason. 33 year Hanley can- if the play is really to ensure all of your prospects see the ice in the A- eat popcorn there as much as here, no? (with the added advantage of showing them the ropes a little?)
I suppose some sort of long game is that they think he will have TDL value

It's less about Hanley and more about Pelletier. If they kept Pelletier up on the big club, he'd definitely be eating popcorn more often than he would in the A, where he'll be an every day guy in the lineup. Hanley, you're right, will likely eat popcorn most of the time on both teams. So given those options, Flames are taking the risk and hoping Pelletier clears, so he can get into every Wranglers game.
