Fun to speculate in the summer, I get that.
But we don't know anything.
Treliving could have stubbornly refused to go beyond a number that he now has to blow past to get it done.
Treliving could have taken what he thought was the Gaudreau camp's final and best number to ownership and was shot down.
The whole thing may have fallen apart and he looked to trade him.
He may have been told he couldn't trade him.
Doubt we ever know.
But there was likely more in play than Gaudreau saying I need $8.5M and Treliving alone deciding he wouldn't be worth that.
