Papa Hockey stated he felt (not exact words) put off? By the first negotiations with Treliving, felt they low balled him and used their leverage way too much. It's not about hurting feelings but maybe negotiating better and maybe not nickel and diming your star players then going out and giving Troy Brouwer 3.5 million.
Maybe if Brad negotiated a little better both those players would still be here. Lord knows he bumble Tkachuk's second contract and maybe if he respected Gaudreau a little more he would have been more honest about signing here again.
