Toronto is in a better position than Calgary in terms of the playoffs and I am sure most players would choose Toronto over Calgary at this point in time if given the choice and similar money. I think the Flames would have to overpay to convince him to stay long term.

Almost every player would chose TO over Calgary. The problem is TO has no cap room and it effects all contract years he would sign for. Franson will not get a year deal from anybody. TO can't pay him much on a 2-3-4 or 5 year contract. Their offer is well below what he should get payed.
His options are accept TO offer, get traded to a team and accept their offer, or go to Europe.
