I think this has a lot more to do with the Flames not wanting Pelletier to sit in the press box. He needs to play games, and right now he's not even the 13th best forward based on the training camp.
If he makes it to the AHL, that's great for the Flames. If a team picks him up on waivers and gives him a chance, then it's great for Pelts.
Hanley is here mostly for popcorn duty. I doubt he sees more than 15 games all season.
