“Coming to a team like Colorado with the players they have and the seasons they’ve had behind them. It was very compelling factor that they wanted me so much that I felt that all the pieces beyond that felt natural to choose.”
They wanted him so much that it was 6 weeks after July 1 and he still had no contract and eventually signs a one year deal. Like you said, Oliver and his agent got greedy and miscalculated his worth.
