The team could have traded him last summer, they chose not to. Why should they only trade a player because they ask to be dealt?
Sue he wasted their time during the last second negotiations and I understand their frustration with that in the moment. But rather meaningless in the big picture.
I doubt many clubs announce to their pending UFA's a year in advance whether whether they plan to re-sign them in free agency. It depends on many factors.
