If the Flames never confirmed the trade offer on Bishop, then that's not an offer on the table for Yzerman. No lies there.
If the issue was that Yzerman didn't want to wait for Treliving to get confirmation from his bosses, he's not going to tell that to his fans, because they might be pissed about missing out on a better deal.
If the issue was that the ownership vetoed the trade, that's Flames internal politics and not something Yzerman should comment on publicly. (Nor would he want to get involved.)
