Calgary would probably make more long term financial sense. He'd have a better chance of getting quality ice time rather than going to Florida where he'd have a harder time working up through their depth.
I recall when Panarin was choosing a team to sign with. The Flames were reported to have been really close to signing him, but he chose Chicago allegedly because he was worried about LW depth on the Flames, while Chicago offered him a chance to step right into a top line role. Something the Flames couldn't offer with Gaudreau already there.
Sylvegard probably isn't vying for 1st line ice time on any team, but he'd have a better shot at top 6 or top 9 time in Calgary than he would in Florida.
