It certainly doesn't sound like they did.

“He said, ‘Listen, 100 per cent we want to sign Jonathan. Obviously, he’s our most important player. He’s our MPV; he had a hell of a season. I love the guy. Let’s get through free agency, the first week to 10 days, and I’ll send you something to get the ball rolling.’ And that’s the way we left.

“Imagine Jonathan’s surprise getting a call at 11 p.m. on Friday last week letting him know that thank you very much for everything but you’ve been traded to Calgary.”
