These trades don’t seem to happen in other sports. But the NHL isn’t known for being avant garde exactly.

Actually offers do go away sometimes in early July. If a player doesn’t sign in a certain window it may force the team to pivot, go a different direction, make an offer to a different player which necessitates pulling the offer from the original player.
We’ve seen it happen. Guys wait a few days into July find out offers get pulled, fire their agent and sign later for less than they could have.
