It isn't an exact science and we are sometimes surprised by the actual numbers.
I agree that Treliving probably takes a pretty standard business approach to this. If the aim was to pressure him, I think he’s actually better off now waiting for a while and thus making JG stick to his word about not commenting on contract. The pressure (if it exists) will back off and they can get back to normal negotiations.

ETA: I do think public/media/fan pressure can get to some GMs and affect their decisions. Treliving hasn’t really shown it.
