If you wanted to have teams bid up the price you should have made it clear to them all you were negotiating with multiple teams. Having said that who knows if any of this even happened its all speculation. But pulling out last minute to try and find a better deal is not a good strategy if that's actually what happened.

Not sure what your experience is in negotiations but from my personal experience, a deal usually doesn't get done until the seller has explored all potential avenues to extract maximum value from their asset. This is a natural understanding from the buyer as well. It's just business. It's not shady whatsoever unless the deal was fully agreed to and then the Flames pulled out which doesn't seem to be the case.
