He lost the numbers game and they thought he could be moved.
It also seems like Burke listens to Conroy a bit for signings, so there could be a chance.

Ya I like him too but he's just not worth really pushing for imo, the flames have no spot for him. He is a 3rd line centrewhen his development is done, he's not a good enough player offensively to score at the nhl level enough to merit top two lines imo and he's not gritty enough for a 4th line, he's a guy who will top out at 10-15 goals and kill some penalties.
When you look at players like Reinhart who are a couple years younger and have already eclipsed him, and the flames already having him, knight, backlund, stajan, monahan and jankowski in the system at centre, I understand why the flames moved him. Redundant.
