The only reason it makes sense is the Flames wanted another year to look at him before giving him a contract, if he returns to the WHL as an overage player they get time to evaluate him more.
Yeah, doesn't make much sense either It's the 7th round so I won't lose sleep over it but a bit puzzling.
Unless Tom Webster has wanted him for two years and they gave him a going away pick.
