Given the prior information that the Flames would be careful with Markstrom and his NTC, it makes sense to me that any request for a waiver would occur only after a significant offer was made. I don't think the Flames would make the request based on NJD asking. May not have been super close, but I don't see the scenario where they start with the waiver, and then negotiate.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
