Which of course is fine it’s just void of strategic logic.

Would agree it's a concern, and people that are worried about it have reason to.
But not everyone is jumping to the worst possible conclusion on this.
The player said he wanted to stay.
Coleman mentioned talking to him in his decision to come here.
So it could just be part of getting a deal done.
Or neither the Gaudreau demands nor the offers for the player in a trade were worth accepting before the deadline expired.
So the worry doesn't bother me. It's the 100% jumping to a conclusion as a fact that does, which some people have done.
