Why? It's pretty simple. Well, he was traded in his first year, without any NHL games, by Boston to Toronto in a deal for an established NHLer. Seemed like a typical deal of a prospect for a player to fill a need in Boston.
He was dealt by Toronto to Calgary because they'd have had to put him on waivers.
He was IMO not re-signed by Calgary because he was arbitration-eligible and his point production was suddenly too high compared to what Calgary could pay and the role they foresaw for him.
