If this is the deal Burke was talking about, everything was settled on the Flames side, but it required the other team to complete another deal, which they weren't able to do.
It's likely Minnesota was trying to get something done for Vanek, which would have required them dumping some cap hit. When that fell through, it was no longer worth it for them to pay the Flames to take on Heatley.
