* in comparison to the people in our training camp. I understand Burke has seen him and, as per definition for anyone we acquire, Feaster has had Colborne on their radar for a long time.

well sure but if the answer is that the Flames actually see both Colborne and Horak in their future plans (and I don't know if this is true), there was only one way to slice this (with respect to these two players- I guess we could discuss Street vs Horak) and that is to send down Horak. at any rate they obviously liked their chance at a low cost asset grab in Colborne and no point in then blowing that by losing him on waivers two days later
