I get the tactic but Colborne has to get signed, that's a real game of chicken move, his agent has to know someone will give him at least 2.5 mil on the market as a UFA.
If Colborne HAD to get signed he would have been qualified. No matter how someone spins it, Treliving didn't make him a priority. Sure, he doesn't want to over pay or risk arbitration but if they really liked Colborne and thought he was instrumental in this teams long term success then he would have been qualified.


So no he doesn't have to be signed and we really wouldn't miss him that much if another team decided to overpay.
