I get that people enjoy Sec214’s stuff because it’s fun to believe a genuine insider is leaking info on this site. But if someone has to be a jerk not to buy into it, I guess I’m a jerk.

Since you're not seeing the difference, I'll explain it...
Sec's source has suggested the Flames discussed with Markstrom 'his willingness' to waive. That isn't saying that they asked him to waive, just gauging the waters to see if it is possible, or a non-starter. as PepsiFree said: how would the Flames know where he might be willing to go, if they didn't ask him? To summarize: Sec's info is suggesting that they have had some discussions on THE POSSIBILITY of it.
Conversely, Friedman's comment was "I don’t believe they’ve gone to him with anything". That is in reference to an ACTUAL PROPOSAL - specifically asking him to waive, in order to go to XXX. Obviously, things haven't gotten that far along.
This is pretty straight-forward: they've talked about whether he might consider it, but they haven't asked him to waive. The sources are not contradictory, nor conflicting.
(bit Sec is still a jerk
)
