I don't think the Flames qualified Bancks in 2013. I think they signed him to an AHL only contract. If he is attending I think it is on a tryout basis. I could be wrong. But why would Bancks refuse an NHL QO and then sign an AHL deal? Doesn't make sense.
Personally I think the Flames need to move on. But they are losing Street, Billins, Smith, Nemisz, Breen, etc. So maybe they think they need his leadership on the AHL team.
