If this was a comparable situation to Colborne why would they not qualify Colborne? And a team actually gave two second round picks to Chicago for Shaw. Do you think if Treliving had anything close to that at the draft that he'd not have taken it especially knowing he wasn't going to qualify him?
Calgary could have qualified him and at the very worst paid him Andrew Shaw money for only one year. And they passed.
Again, how is this comparable?
