Bouma could be given an offer sheet by the Kings, but he still remains Flames property and they can match that offer.
The rejection of the qualifying offer just means they don't accept the first Flames offer. They still remain RFA's tied to the Flames and Flames will have final say if they are moved to another team.
Usually it's a money thing. Reject the first offer, negotiate more with the Flames and then sign a deal a little later. If they can't work something out, then you could see the Flames trade them much like how we acquired Corban Knight last year.
