To let the pressure point change in the way they did I don't think it's a stretch to assume any or all of the following was true.
1) They think Gaudreau wants to stay and are willing to give it time
2) They looked at moving Gaudreau and didn't like the value in the market
To assume that they just let that deadline slide without a plan at all doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

These are all good points, but you're kind of putting words in Poe969's mouth.
He's not saying that management didn't have a plan. He's saying that he doesn't have faith in management because they lost some of their strategic leverage.
That's a fair take by Poe IMO.
But you're right. 1) and 2) could very well be true. Hopefully we'll see.
With that said, it's been a while since this happened and no deal has been signed. So obviously a deal wasn't that close at the beginning of the offseason. And I don't think they've entertained trading Gaudreau. We've heard nothing on that subject.
