Was he offered a tryout by the Flames? but chose the Flyers instead?

He came to Flames development camp in the summer of 2015. Flames could have signed him there.

Flyers invited him to their training camp that Fall and signed him a few days into that camp, and they already had their blue chip d-men prospects in the pipeline (Sanheim, Morin, Provorov, Gostisbehere)

edit: I take small solace that he was on the Flames radar for the 2015 draft but considering they would have been way better off selecting him instead of Bruce in the 7th round also makes me sad.

I don't recall how he looked in that camp. Was anyone impressed with him?

The Flames have to pick at least one refrigerator in every draft.

Has Dubé gotten much playing time?

Dube created the 5th goal there with a speedy and aggressive forecheck.
