That's what I'd thought but I would have expected at least one of the teams to come away with the player. I mean, a 1st round pick (12th overall) for the chance to talk to a player and you don't sign him? Is it not worth just letting him go to FA and making an offer then? Young guys/prospects on multi year deals for a chance to just talk to a guy for 1 day prior to FA, does that happen IRL?
