The problem is that the Flames really have mediocre prospects and a bad team, so there's little chance he'll want to sign with a team with such a bleak short term future.

Detroit seems thin on defense so he likely gets a shot to get fairly good minutes if he goes there. Even Pittsburgh seems like they would have a shot to give him minutes based on their bottom pairing guys.
Defense seems to be fairly thin around the league right now and based on reports Dekeyser is good enough to play right now even for good teams.
