Even if it was rumoured, since it would never be known for a certainty that he wouldn’t sign, it would still be worth it to “waste” a pick on him if the Flames were that high in him.
Worth the risk to draft him and worry later about trying to convince him to stay or use him as a trade chip, which we did.
So basically there’s no scenario where Tre messed up or made a mistake. It was a good pick regardless.
