And we've made offers before that met the person's asking price and in the end they said they were no longer interested and decided to stay where they were.
It likely happens every day in other industries...just more magnified when it's an NHL franchise and there are only 32 teams in the mix.

It's a bit different in industry, true. But add a deadline in, with limited opportunity to pivot and no easy replacement. But there's no "other offer" here, only change. And reportedly a demand. This is the big thing.
I'm not saying it never happens, but one of my best friends happens to be a recruiter, so he brokers jobs all the time like this, with asks, and offers and acceptances. It's pretty rare.
In hockey I have never heard of a demand being met, and then a contract not being signed.
