Don't think they would've qualified him if they didn't see some NHL upside as Treliving doesn't seem hesitant to cut bait on prospects they don't believe in.
Shinkaruk was in consideration as well but I give the edge to the dman who I think has a better chance of making the team. Shinkaruk is more likely to make the Vegas Golden Knights than the Calgary Flames IMO. I could see them scooping him up off waivers and giving him an audition if they think they need some scoring.

This was my thinking as well. I'm not a big Spoon fan, but aside from Kulak, he's probably the guy they'd trust most as a call-up. Qualifying him was a big deal IMO.
