No.
The Leafs would have prior knowledge of the possibility of retirement and would have traded for him anyway.
Buyer beware.
Most likely, the Leafs would insist on the deal being conditional on Kiprusoff reporting and the Flames would likely agree that would be a reasonable condition. Or, they'd just ask him beforehand, which they evidently did, and he saves everyone a lot of trouble and says "no" ahead of time.
