Price matters to EVERY SINGLE PLAYER in the league. A team has a cap, and has to build towards that cap. That's it.
The Flames wanted Colborne back. Period.
The Flames were not prepared to give out x amount of dollars and/or x amount of term. Period.
Colborne decided to go to the Avs when there was indeed a bona fide offer on the table to keep him in Calgary. Treliving made reference to the Flames' offer at the press conference that day (or the next day - can't recall exactly now).
