Perhaps next season he'll make a case for making the Flames full-time, but needs more fine tuning defensively. Also looking at waiver status of all the RFA defencemen indicates that he'll be sent back to Stockton to mature more and make the simple plays.
I don't have high hopes that he managed to rein in his questionable decision-making overnight, but maybe after this season. He's shown leaps in improvement for sure (almost doubling his PPG from rookie year) but hasn't yet tore up the AHL in a way that would force the Flames to play him over Kulak. Unless he has an absolutely beastmode training camp and preseason, I don't see him getting the nod.
