It's because you didn't get it done. Sitting on your hands is an expression, one that I have occasionally used, perhaps poorly. Used more as an expression of results vs. effort. More accurately, should say that he tried to lift his buttcheeks off the chair but was unsuccessful and remained sitting on his hands.
IMO making offers on Kadri, Anderson, Stone, Dubois, Hall and Zucker is not the same as acquiring them. Would you agree that another offseon of making trade offers that get rejected would be a disappointment? Or should we be happy that he didn't make a horrible trade?
