The following scenario is the only thing that makes any sense to me as to why this signing was done:

Gudbrandson's agent to Team A, B and C: Hey, Erik will play for you for $1.5M per year.

Team A, B and C: No!

Gudbrandson's agent to Treliving: I've talked to 3 other teams about Gudbrandson. We even mentioned an AAV of $1.5M

Treliving to Team A, B and C: Did you talk to Gudbrandson about signing for $1.5M?

Team A, B and C: ... well, yeah, but...

Treliving to Agent: Clearly he is a wanted player. There must be something I don't see. I'll gamble. $1.95M!
