I said they wouldn't approach him unless they thought they could get a great return. Clearly they believe they could get that return from NJ. I am not saying they would have asked Markstrom as soon as NJ asked about him, I am guessing there was some conversation initially where Conroy thought it was worth pursuing enough to ask him to waive. What I was saying is you don't negotiate the final details of the deal without approaching the player first to see if he will even waive.
