The Blue Jackets had Gaudreau at the top of their wish list, and they extended an offer shortly after the window opened at noon Eastern.
Many expected Gaudreau to sign with a club close to his family home in New Jersey. Philadelphia, the New York Islanders and New Jersey were seen as favorites. But by mid-afternoon, the Blue Jackets were alerted that they were very much in the running.

So that call everyone is talking about was a call from Gross telling Jarmo that the offer he made early in the day was being seriously considered. And Jarmo was shocked because he thought one or more of the New Jersey area teams would have made a bigger offer by that point.
