If retention was actually the issue, probably should have had that piece worked out first before approaching him to waive his NTC.
All speculation at this point.

This is such a good point, can’t imagine the flames would want to upset Markstrom which this situation could potentially do; you’d think management would have cleared that aspect with ownership before approaching the player to waive. Approaching a player to waive basically means there was a deal in place in which the players/prospects involved were acceptable for both teams so it just seems odd to me that retention was the wrinkle.
