Yeah I'm starting to think this is more a case of 'let's see what we can get' tactics by CBJ as opposed to them preferring someone else. Even what they've released to the media smacks of trying to start a bidding war and jack the price up (which is fair enough).
Fortunately, I think our GM has proven he's savvy enough to not buy into it and will only offer market value, provided that's right for the team. Pretty confident after last year that we'll use our seconds productively and get a few great prospects if they're used at the draft.
