Great logic for a rebuilding team.

I'll be honest, I've been pretty hopeful for Breen's development for a while now. The truth of the matter is he's not ready for the NHL. Whether he will be at a later time is a matter of debate, but right now he more or less finds himself in the same situation Colborne was in Toronto. He's not waiver-exempt anymore, but he's not good enough to crack our roster. Toronto was able to get a 5th for Colborne, but who has a defense worse than the Flames that would be willing to give up a pick for him? I hate to say it, but it's time to put him on waivers and send him down to Abby where he'll get some solid minutes, and hopefully become an NHL'er. I have serious doubts that he'll be picked up at this point.
