Hrivik can go down to the AHL under the following provision I believe (note it says you need the player's consent)

CBA section 13.12.j.iii 
a Player may be Loaned (with the Player's consent) provided such Player
(a) was on Recall and was determined to be disabled as of the Trade
Deadline, (b) is determined to be fit to play prior to such Loan, and (c)
was on the Active Roster for less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
period from the beginning of the Regular Season up to and including the
date on which he was determined to be disabled.

It means they don't want to waste a regular call up on Glass by sending him down and calling up in a regular transaction.

Which probably means that they plan on using him at some point.

There was still plenty of time between finding out the claim for Stewart was successful (10am) and the trade deadline (1pm), where they could have moved Glass down if they didn't want him still in Calgary.

I think Glass will probably get the Edmonton game. I thought he played well in it, and did a good job of keeping Kassian more honest.

That will actually be an interesting game. Intimidation is a thing in the NHL, and I think that is partly why the Flames have not been as successful against Edmonton. Giordano mentioned how intimidating it is playing against Stewart, so I imagine playing against Lucic - who is more of a head case - and throw in Nurse and Kassian who are both headcases themselves - and maybe that is the dynamic that has changed.

Heck, just to test the theory, let's play Glass, Stewart, Ferland and call up Prout while we are at it, and intimidate them for once.

They are easier to play against without Maroon - both the fisticuffs, but especially the net-front presence and agitation he did to the Smith.

I am not sure how many more games Glass gets, but I bet he does get an Edmonton game at least, and I would much rather have him drop the mitts than Ferland having to do it.

Keeping him honest as in beating him bloody.

Hey, we still have Gadzic, right?

We do, but I can fathom the Flames using one of the 4 call-up spots on him. Would be funny - both for the Edmonton reaction and the reaction on this board

In all seriousness, I thought the plan was to use Prout at some point this season. It seems that is not happening. I was kind of interested to see how reliable he was, but it seems the organization doesn't feel he is in their future plans (which I don't have an opinion about either way since I am not that familiar with him).

Was hoping he was an Engelland-type for us.

They need to lock up a spot (without using all the callups) by March 31 and then they can call up Gadzic and Prout. Hell, Lomberg too.
