How do you know he was being misled?
Gaudreau was being very upfront last season when he said that if Tre and management were happy with him then he’d be open to re-signing. Elliotte Friedman then confirmed with Lewis Gross that Gaudreau was indeed sincere in what he said.
Then there was that deal that almost got done prior to camp, but for whatever fell through. That was 2 chances for management to get it done. After that, it was always going to be iffy as the allure of the east/family was going to be tough for Johnny to resist.
