Why?
There is only room for 4 top 6 wingers on a team. And they get paid like top 6 wingers. If he becomes one - great, good for him! But it doesn't really change anything with respect to the Flames. Either he is on the roster, or someone else is, using up that same cap space.
Rooting for him to do well is fine - I certainly am, because I think he's a really nice young man, is from Calgary, and plays at Priddis (quite well, btw). But if he does have a good NHL career, it doesn't really impact the Flames one way or the other.
