Not exactly. Any team that claimed him would have to put him back on waivers if they wanted to send him down. He would have to go through the regular waivers process and the Flames wouldn't get any special priority on a claim. However, if the Flames were the only team to put in a claim his second time through waivers, they'd be able to send him to Stockton as if he had cleared the first time.

13.22 When a Club claims a Player on Regular or Unconditional Waivers, and, subsequently, in the same season it requests Waivers on the same Player and the original owning Club is the successful and only Club making a Waiver claim, then the original owning Club shall be entitled to Loan such Player to a club in another league within thirty days without further Waivers being asked; provided that such Player has not participated in ten or more NHL Games (cumulative) and remained on an NHL roster more than thirty days (cumulative) following such successful claim.
