I really can't wrap my head around this decision. At least qualify him and TRADE him if you don't see him in your plans long term. He has some value.
Trade him? To who? For what?

If the flames don't sign him as a UFA, he will not get a one way anywhere else in the league. You're way over valuing him here. If they qualified him, they risked a one way contract, and he's not a one way contact player
