Maybe like a real estate agent representing both you (Textcritic) and me (shadowlord). You have a buyer willing to pay money for your house, but then the agent says to the buyer that he's more likely to close the deal if he gives the money to me instead.
Of course, this is off-season isn't over yet. Perhaps in the end Point will happy with the contract he ends up with.
I only posed the question: "how does he feel?" I'm not saying he *is* pissed off at his agent, but there is a potential for a conflict of interest, IMO.

There might be if what you imagine is something that has actually happened. Did
this actually happen?

I don't think your real estate analogy works because unlike you (shadowlord) and me (Textcritic) I don't believe that either Aho or Point are especially motivated to sell their houses and move.
I think a much more likely situation is this: Aho wants to play in Carolina, but also wanted a five-year term which Carolina was reportedly unwilling to offer. The offer sheet ensured that Aho would get the deal he wanted from Carolina.
I suspect that Brayden Point is presently primarily motivated to make a deal with TB. Maybe that changes, but for the moment I don't see why he would be overly upset by how his agent chooses to represent other clients.
