I agree that there is every possibility that things occurring behind the scenes are not reflective of what has been consistently reported. But I maintain that this is still a baseless position on pure speculation; in the absence of any actual evidence, I choose to think that both sides are still working toward the same goal.
Besides, one of the main factors in the reports being "outdated" is the World Cup moratorium that has only just ended. The reason there has been nothing new to report fits quite seamlessly with Gaudreau's decision to set negotiations on hold for three weeks.
