My comment was more around the urgency to make a decision right now on the asset that is Raymond right now, simply so we can tell Grandlund he has a spot is dumb. But in fairness, that's not how I wrote it, so it's fair to call it out, and it's also fair to suggest that I made the following assumption that wasn't necessarily true: Treliving would potentially want more time to see if Raymond could up his value - based on this move today, I would say he's seen enough already or feels he knows where the market is going to be. And I'd also say I made an assumption (foolishly had I paused to think about it) that there would be a risk at losing Raymond to waivers, which likely isn't the case at all.
So fair ball in calling that out, I was certainly off base on the above facts. My feelings still strongly remain the same on people calling for the waiving of Raymond simply because they want Granlund to be able to say he cracked the roster on opening night. That would be a very dumb move IMO, and based on what Treliving and the Flames have done, they did not waiver Raymond for that reason.
