This might true, but if it is then it was smart for him to go public. He gets out like he wanted and his new team required less assets to get him. Win win for Z, should probably be the strategy for everyone who wants a trade.
Compare this with Tkachuk who ironically made his new team worse by providing the Flames with option value in trade negotiations.
