And at almost .5 ppg (powerplay or not) someone likely takes a chance on him for one year, even if the Flames have to eat say $2M of his contract.

I agree with all of this but I would say the 0.5 ppg paints a rosier picture than is really deserved. That is almost entirely coming on the PP. Yeah those points count but how much of that is simply being the beneficiary of what the other players are doing. His pace is 8 goals. 2 ES assists through 21 games.
Assuming he stays on this pace, is anyone paying $4.3 million for that? I don't see it. The club needs to hope he finds his game IMO for that to be likely.
