This is correct. Though it wasn’t contract negotiations per se, he was pissed because of his existing contract and overhearing management talk about him IIRC.
But yeah, that being the case, they should have just traded him and him alone. I have no idea why Macoun had to go. The rest of the trade was just filler.
