Dick move by Zadorov IMO. Like thanks, you couldn’t have asked for the trade and then shut up about it? And no, your agent didn’t go rogue, obviously. So dumb.

Really only the case when the player has term remaining or will be an RFA. Everyone in the league knows the Flames have players that are very likely on the block. The player also acknowledging this doesn't change a thing for their value.
