I could be wrong, but I believe that Byron will still be an RFA next year if the Flames tender a qualifying offer. I don't believe their failure to tender one this year does anything to cancel their rights next season and he will still be under 27 with fewer than 7 years experience.

I assume that's one reason for the one-year deal.
