The Flames ultimately did not want Colborne, it doesn't matter if they didn't want him at a certain price. Fact of the matter is they didn't sign a 44 point player for $2.5 million. That speaks for itself.

"Flames ultimately did not want Colborne"
I don't know what was the point of the discussion prior to this comment.
"They didn't sign a 44 point player for $2.5m"
They made an alternative offer to a player who scored 44 points (subtle difference) for the first time in his career. It's like calling Bouma a 16 goal scorer.
Player chose to turn it down. Simply means that the Flames decided another number was appropriate and the player accepted another offer/opportunity.
