It has been pointed out already that Toronto has waiver priority over Calgary (because Toronto sucks), which means they get priority if both teams claim a guy.
But I'd like to further point out that this actually means that Calgary very well could have claimed Tom, they just ended up not getting him.
Considering they claimed another waiver defenceman the same day, it's actually not that far-fetched.
So you're not only wrong about how it works, but they may have actually put in a claim for the player you're mad about them not putting in a claim for.
