Francis had been playing with nobodies for 3/4 of the year and getting all of the hard match ups. The first line put up points sure but they at least had team mates who could help out.
Francis was always a project pick and still has potential, maybe the Flames are just not ready to invest in him.
They also have a very similar player in Emilio Pettersson so yeah who knows what they are thinking on this one. Really surprised they didn't sign him though because he undoubtedly has talent.
