Calgary with fairly deep prospect pool on the blueline said that can't happen. They checked back at the draft to see if he'd sign and earn it like other players and the answer was no.

This would suggest to me that Treliving doesn't buy into the Fox hype as much as some people.
I know it goes against the concept of "meritocracy", but if you think a player is NHL ready, or if you think that the player is special or rare enough in talents, then I feel the smart asset management decision would be to find a way to fit them into the line-up even if it means trading another player and giving them sheltered ice-time.
