He'll be closer to home for his first year on the farm team.
Would be great if he signs with the flames but I'm not going to hold my breath... Calgary is a long way away from home for him. His brother is with Florida who also seem like a team ready to improve and he will have a good chance to make that team too.

Not sure why it's a long shot IMO. I think Calgary has just as good a chance to sign him as the rest who are in the mix. Sure, there are other teams who are also in contention, but with Gaudreau and Arnold in the system, Calgary is far from being a long shot.
