This really isn’t as mysterious as people are making it out to be.
Yup. The only mysterious thing is why (reportedly) Gaudreau instructed his agent to make a last-minute counteroffer, and then backed out when the team accepted. And the answer to that mystery will be found between Gaudreau's own ears, not Treliving's, his agent's, or anyone else's.
