I am not sure he was insulted necessarily by not getting his QO. They did negotiate after that. Feelings may have been hurt as Treliving probably had to tell him why he felt he wasn't worth whatever amount Colborne was looking to sign for. Probably something similar to an arbitration case. That is how I imagined it working out anyways.
I like Colborne, and I do think he would have been helping this team as a solid depth player right now, but I am not sure that I would say Treliving handled it wrong. Just a tough circumstance all around is what I think of the situation. Handling it wrong would have been to give Colborne the QO and then risking arbitration on top of it.
