But he hasn't opened his mouth (he hasn't said "I refuse to report") and he hasn't been traded, so it's still just speculation.

The only thing we do know is that Toronto was given permission to talk to Kipper, and Kipper said he's reluctant to sign an extension because he isn't convinced he could deliver on his end of the deal.

Him questioning his ability impacts only 1 thing in this case; his decision if he wants to sign an extension. Which is his right. If Toronto decides that trading for Kipper is dependent on the extension, then that's Toronto's right.

I doubt you're saying that Kipper should have agreed to sign an extension even if he didn't want to just so the Flames could get a pick, but that's the only way that Kipper is "costing" the Flames a pick.
