Why would the Flames pay him more just because?
He had an okay season that seems to be way overvalued by many fans compared to NHL folks. He is still a tweener that can play for a bottom 5 team but hasn't shown any indication that he has the skill to play for a team that is actually competitive.
Based on what he has shown so far he seems pretty lucky that he got a one way and signed a deal that works for both him and the team in that he gets paid 600,000 no matter what and the team can send him down without worrying about paying him a ton on a one way deal.
