He has never been Flames property. He was/is signed to an AHL contract with the Heat. I don't know what happens with his contract now that he has been sent back to Junior. I'd guess that he can still play with Stockton/Kansas City after Moncton's season ends.
According to this, it appears it was his decision to return to Junior after the Heat sent him to the ECHL:

I'm not sure what happens with his contract, but I'd be surprised if AHL contracts can slide like NHL ELCs. I'd guess he'll be a free agent again next year.
So long as he doesn't hold any ill feelings towards the Flames/Heat/Mavericks, they probably still have as good a chance to sign him as anyone.
