He was on waivers in the past with no bites, you would assume that he was available for cheap all last season if a team wanted with no bites, so there is a good chance this wasn't a Calgary screwing him and a NHL teams/GMs aren't keen on handing the smallest guy in the NHL an automatic spot in the NHL.
Now this may have changed now he has another good AHL season and it may be that he is mad enough at the Flames that he just wants to leave even if it isn't for a better opportunity, but it is possible that with Sutter and Treliving gone, Calgary offers him as good as chance as anywhere else to try and make the team.
Not sure that is a great argument as I think he likely leaves, but a possible reason he would come back.
