I believe that there will be different games on the various SportsNet/Rogers channels on days with national coverage (Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays). However if the Flames are on SportsNet West on a Tuesday then that game will be subject to blackouts.
Take this quote from Curtis Rush of The Star (

The NHL said the agreement guarantees that there will be no further regionalization of games or local blackouts. Rogers has three exclusive windows to broadcast any game involving a Canadian team: Wednesday nights, Saturday nights and Sunday nights.

No further rationalization means that they aren't going to expand upon regional coverage but focus on national coverage.
Rogers will have three exclusive windows for broadcasting Canadian teams, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Those games are national games and not subject to any blackout restrictions.
So there will still be some blackouts, but only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
