Lomberg didn't last in College because of an off ice incident not because of poor play. He decided to leave Maine altogether but in order to do that had to take a year off so he went back to the USHL for one season. Ryan was actually set to return to College with Miami but Treliving and the Flames offered him an AHL deal.
As for the OHL he was drafted by the Petes so that option was open to him. Maybe he wasn't big enough or strong enough but I fail to see how you can say that with such certainty. Peterborough thought enough about him to use a draft selection on him.
Now I have no idea what kind of NHL upside Lomberg has, it's probably limited at best.. but atleast get the facts straight about his career path and the routes that were open to him.
