There was none, so Calgary bows out and Ottawa takes Vegas' package and Stone signs immediately long term.
That's more or less how it went down, from what I could gather.

No, no.
It is MUCH more believable that Treliving knew well in advance—without ever speaking to Ottawa management or Michael Stone himself—that Stone was determined to not sign in Calgary, and then he went ahead and spent days putting together the framework for a deal that would never get done, anyways. Come on, this is a much more credible story.
