Did he really though? Or was he just injured/opt for surgery before he was officially cut?
I know that Hartley said he would have made the team if healthy, but you also have to take comments like that with a grain of salt. It's a common motivation technique to pump a guy's tires when he is likely feeling like crap having to sit out almost the whole season.
At any rate, he has been with the team and practicing for a while now. If he goes straight back to junior after being cleared, I think it is fair to say he had an opportunity.
