Now, he can't be traded and all signs point to the Preds matching and keeping him in Nashville for 14 years. If he wanted to leave, then he just did about the dumbest thing imaginable.

Agreed with this.
There's no way he wanted out at all costs. If that's what he wanted, he simply took the worse possible route.
IMHO, he just wanted a gigantor contract, probably was skeptical about Poile putting it on the table unless forced, so his agent went out and found him one.
If Shea isn't a Pred next year, then David Poile needs to be gone also.
