Honestly, if Treliving is still beating this drum and hasn't assessed the situation to be hopeless it would be equally as inexcusable from a management perspective.

I don't think it has anything to do with changing his tune - it was always going to come down to the final hours.
Landeskog signed 34 minutes before his deadline last year.
Nylander signed a couple of hours before he'd have to sit out the season in 2019.
This is how a player maximizes their value if they want to stay.
