Flames Flames recall Wotherspoon. Smid on IR. Wotherspoon will dress against Canucks.

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
#Flames have recalled @TSPOON77 from @AHLHeat...just stepped on the ice for morning skate. #CGYvsVAN

update:

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Russell and Smid out tonight. Wotherspoon will make season debut. Nothing major for Smid, day-to-day. Russell likely back on Sunday. #Flames

Flames would have had to put one or Russell or Smid on IR to make a roster spot.

They could have also sent down Granlund.

Let's hope like hell that it's because smid is on the IR, and not Russell!

If Russell is on IR then that is some seriously #### luck since he better not be resigned.

Good luck Wotherspoon. Probably getting close to the end of his chances to crack the team.

Yay, hope to see him steal a spot soon. Management sounded pretty disappointed he didn't have a lot of push in training camp.

Could Russell be placed on IR retroactive to when he missed his first game with this injury?

per the Flames press release Smid on IR, which would mean the earliest he is eligible to return would be against the Kings on Tuesday.

Time for Wotherspoon to sit in the pressbox and watch for the rest of the season just like last year.

All he has to do is beat Nakladal for minutes, who isn't exactly Bob Hartley's favorite pet

There's still 6 games until the deadline. The Flames eat ~$31, 000 of Russell's cap space for every game.

Good for Wotherspoon. Have to think this is a key call-up for him, he really has to make this one count if he wants to have a future with the Flames (given that they have Hickey, Andersson and Kylington in the pipeline).

That's interesting. Deal in place, but sit him out to save a couple bucks.
Very "conspiracy theory-esque" but interesting.
