He just wasn't working out with the Hounds.
They got a few picks which will be useful, but maybe he requested a trade too and Dubas was handcuffed into taking the whatever he could find.

I guess they could, but I can't recall it happening recently.
It does happen a lot with committed NCAA players though because most NHL teams prefer the CHL.
I know you're not asking if Buffalo has done that, but he was rumored to be on the block in May, so I don't think that's the case here before anyone starts to get that idea in their head.
