The Flames gave up a second round pick to get him, and he has played 4 games so far. He put up 3 points in that time frame. Regardless of how he may have looked in preseason, I seriously doubt he is fighting for a top 12 spot and he is certainly not at risk of being exposed to waivers.
The Flames seem to think he has a lot of potential. Right or wrong he has a roster spot to lose.
