Not how I see it.
A guy that is very process driven is well aware of pressure points and timing when managing assets.
Every team has players walk. Every team locks up players.
So he passed the 5 team deadline, are you saying he was unaware of it? Wasn't sure what it meant? Didn't know that going by it meant less leverage?
I find all of those tough to see.
They let it go by for a reason, I think we can agree on that.
He either thinks a contract is coming, or decided himself or was told that it's worth the risk vs the team being poor this year.
So you think Coleman called Gaudreau, Gaudreau said "I don't know buddy" or "none of your business" or "I'm testing the market" and he signed anyway?
