This could still easily be a leverage play. The narrative building by the Seravelli's of the world is logical a-b connecting or breadcrumbs to a mouse. Staying silent is exactly how you get the best offer. Negotiate off of that in the 11th hour and getting an extra 5% is exactly what Lewis Gross would do. Comparing it to a marriage when dealing with Gross is a stupid comparison. Saying the 8th year doesn't matter is saying that 15 million dollars doesn't matter. Maybe it doesn't, but it would be unusual for Gaudreau and gross to think that.
