Because you don't spend hours hammering out the fine details of a trade if there is no trade to be made.
If I'm negotiating on behalf of the Devils, I'm not wasting my time on that. I'd be telling Conroy, ‘Here is my initial offer. If you think we can work out a deal, ask Markstrom now if he will waive, because it's not worth my time to discuss it if he won't.’
