I don’t remember either player being subject to a deadline.
Gilmour was unhappy with how arbitration went and decided to hold out. He was immediately traded for the best that they could get right then. Risebrough should have waited and been more patient.

Savard was in the doghouse with the coach and the story was Savard was shooting the puck at the coach in practice. Button decided he needed to be moved immediately, and did so. He should have been more patient and made a better decision than he did.
