I know him not being qualified doesn't mean he walks for nothing but it's a very good chance that scenario plays out. And letting him walk for nothing isn't madness, we are talking about Joe Colborne not some player with super high trade value or anything like that. Him walking isn't madness, it's the posters who overrate players like Colborne that is madness.

Not sure what you're looking for... I'll think he's doing a fine job? If they don't sign him it's because he's getting paid too much by another team.
My post was in response to people who didn't want him qualified OR signed, period. As in, would rather no Colborne than one Colborne.
Making no attempt to keep him would have been complete madness. I don't see many people overrating him but he's a hard player to replace (current skill level, entering prime) at 2-2.5 million. Heck, you might not even be able to replace Colborne with Colborne at 2.5. We'll see.
