The way people talk around here, he could have signed a deal for 1 million easy on the FA market with lots of other teams in the league...

The one-way 600K contract is probably much more valuable than a 2-way 1 million contract to a guy like Byron who is trying to stick in the NHL.
As for 'getting another contract from lots of other teams in the league' - I don't think anyone is saying that. They are mostly talking about the arbitrator's possible decision. Though Byron is a useful utility player that I am sure would be on the radar of a number of teams, I don't think he would sign a contract much more (if even) than what the Flames gave him, but an arbitrator might.
