At the time Calgary had 3 good D (Gio, Brodie, Hamilton). plus Hamonic. So top 4 in his rookie season was not in the cards. But really, the bottom two spots were open and up for grabs among Andersson, Stone, Kylington and Valimaki. Nah, he wanted to go to NYC.

Relax, just curious if he did say that. Not a criticism of Treliving.
We'll never know how it exactly went down, other than player was happy to go back to college vs. signing an ELC and getting to his next contract quicker.
