I think it was more about whether Tanev is willing to sign an extension right away.
Yesterday before the trade happened, LeBrun said on his podcast that Dallas was fine with having Tanev as a pure rental. He also said teams like Toronto and Vancouver wanted clarity if he would re-sign.
I think the other teams involved may have only been willing to outbid Dallas if Tanev was going to re-sign right away.
