I'm now fairly convinced that the deal fell through because we didn't want to retain. Reading between the lines of what Seravalli said with Steinberg just now, the two sides got as close as you can without crossing the finish line, meaning the return was agreed upon - this is not Conroy holding out for a better return. The fact that NJ were the ones frustrated that the deal did not go through indicates this wasn't them trying to pull a fast one on Craig.
If that's the case, I'm not surprised since our ownership has a history of not retaining money, but it's incredibly frustrating.
I guess I'll wait and see if we actually trade Markstrom and what the return will be, but missing out on Holtz + could be huge.
