Or he could simply wait, and hold out until he is traded, and sign a deal with his new team.
I doubt he signs his QO, as that ties his own hands in that regard.
I expect he'll either sign a new long term deal with Calgary or force a trade to a team he wants to sign a contract with.
But playing on a one year contract where he cannot sign a long term deal until Jan 1 is not in his or Calgary's best interests. He would only do that if he is adament about testing UFA.
