The ESPN article screams that he is doing the agent's bidding - pretty standard tactic when attempting to escalate negotiations.

Very unfortunate, because escalation leads to acrimony, which often results in strained relations.

Really surprised that Gaudreau would go that route
Who knows who went the media route, but when one side is using contrived deadlines and amateurish social media PR spinning, going to the media certainly wouldn't be surprising.

I would be surprised if it was Treliving, based on his history, however I think it is more beneficial for him if these details get released. So it is possible.

Or maybe it really was 3rd parties that Francis talked to, as was claimed. That actually seems quite plausible.
