Sure but you don't have any evidence that the Flames either a) had offered a one way in direction negotiations or b) always had the two way to one way move as a yield to get league minimum.
All we know is the two sides entry point to arbitration and the qualifying offer.
It would make more sense to me that they'd be after league minimum more than a two way contract given his waiver eligibility.
