Even then, if you’ve been asked to waive your no-trade for Calgary, he’d have to think perhaps there’s other teams Dubas has been negotiating with as well and his likelihood of being traded somewhere else (1 of 20) was high. It’s just too obvious.

Either he put too much stock into his odds of remaining a Leaf or he knew Colorado was the next deal up and was able to force it there.
