He made $2.5 million to do that this year as a buried contract.
For all the crap Treliving takes for signing some questionable free agents, it should also be noted that he bailed on players like Colborne despite some strong stats to support re-signing him. He does have good judgement some of the time.

Many fans, including myself, were disappointed that Colborne wouldnt have signed a similar deal in Calgary to what he signed in Colorado. IIRC Treliving even made the comment that Joe’s Colorado money was less than what he was asking for here. So before I give Treliving too much credit, it would be interesting to know if Colborne turned down a Calgary offer. What would have been really impressive is trading the guy for a pick based on their read of the player.
