To get to the bottom of the question, I think I've heard of how this works. Teams often play split-squad games that divide the roster into two groups that can play different teams in different places. I'm not sure what it's called though. Split-something-'o-rather.

A split squad is where you take half of one player and fly him to Calgary, the other have remains in Vancouver. Cutting a person in two is rather painful so that's why one half is LEFT in Calgary. But don't worry, in Vancouver, he's all RIGHT now.

Learn to read morons. They say right in the article that its a split squad game. Its a chance for both teams to try more players but still give their veterans a warm up as well. And they did it last year too. Short term memory loss?
