Think someone else already spoke about how both Steinberg and Francis made interesting comments about how the story isn't over and they heard some absolutely wild things over the last 72 hours.
Speculating on what they said, very much sounds like they had a verbal agreeance on a deal with the Flames and they were minutes away from announcing it.
If true in the appropriate context, that's absolutely wild.
