Confirmed with Link: Flames do not qualify nine players, including Joe Colborne

Ortio's qualifying offer would be $660,000 and league minimum is $550,000? or around there. And I don't think he would've got much through way of arbitration. Safe to say Ortio isn't coming back next year?

The sticking point was 1-way vs. 2-way, though. I don't think it was about money itself.

That dollar value for Colborne is a little high, for sure. Around $3M please. If it's really going to be that high, it better be for one year only.

 

[JPeeper]

Flames avoided arbitration so they wouldn't have to spend $3.5-4 mil on Colborne, because if the arbitrator awarded more than 3.9 the Flames couldn't walk away. Once again Dreger doesn't know what he is talking about.

Colborne's next contract will be closer to Bouma's than Shaw's. (If the Flames re-sign him anyway)

 

[DCDM]

4 million for Colborne is horrendous. Kick him to the curb if that's what he's asking.

 

[Major Happy*]

2.5 or less or id let him walk.

 

[Janks]

As much as I like Joe as a person, 2-3 is the most I'd give him.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

If you guys thought I didn't like Colborne before, just wait if he gets paid 3.5-4 million a year.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I agree that Colborne at 4 would be a mistake.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Anything bigger than Raymond's contract is a mistake.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

4 million?? Lollllll he wasn't worth a 4th round pick at the deadline.

I'd love it.

I mean, I would fail to see the point of not qualifying him then, because that's what he'd get in arbitration, but whatever.

Probably wind up coming in at 3x3 or something.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Yeah 3 x 3 is what I'm thinking. Maybe the Stajan special, 3.1.

 

[FLAMES666]

I offer Colborne two year 5 mill and nothing more or he can hit UFA

So you think Colborne deserves to make more than Brodie? Lol k.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I think he means 5M total so 2.5M per.

 

[BVicious]

I'd be more than happy to see him walk. Anything over $2M would be a super ****** IMO.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

I'd be ecstatic with a 2.25ish deal, and still fine with 3, anything more though I wouldn't be a fan of.

 

[FLAMES666]

Thanks, didn't think I had to be so specific

 

[AgeOfBennett]

I think he means 5M total so 2.5M per.

Lol misread that sorry flames666

I have vision that Colborne signed with the Oilers and become McDavid's RW.

I choose to believe that's not a sarcasm smiley but rather someone trying to hold in their vomit.
