I have a hard time believing there was no indication of what the player wanted prior to the deal.
But thats just me spitballing, guessing. To your point, yes its pretty unlikely but who knows.

I absolutely remember Treliving saying the were comfortable with what Hamilton was asking for before the deal was done. Whether that was through discussions with Hamilton's agent, or taking the representation of Sweeney.
I am pretty sure NHL GM's trust each other so would expect similar situation if a pending UFA is being dealt.
