As a fan of Bancks I would say there is a 1% chance he gets anymore than 2-3 games in the NHL and that would be as a reward for hardwork at the AHL level if he did.
This likely gives him a lot more flexibility going forward and more money as his AHL deal is likely more than he would have got on a two way deal. Flames save by not having the contract on the books unless they want it and he gets some extra bucks that ends up as peanuts for the Flames.
