Not sure I agree.
Treliving wasn't forthright for sure, but he did say something like "there was a problem getting the player signed" which to me pretty much spelled out he didn't want to either sign in Calgary, or sign with anyone until he went UFA.
Then Fox denied it which was pretty clearly wanting the transition to Carolina to go smoothly, as I just can't see Treliving lying about the subject.
Either way ... great asset management.
Ferland who would have priced himself out of his cap space for his role, a prospect that you knew would be tough to sign, and a defenseman at his trade value max.
