I think it's a combination of 2 and 3, the Flames are willing to retain, but want something like a first for the retention alone.
I also think this gets done. If NJ doesn't want Markstrom, then I'm going to Ottawa first, then Colorado, Philadelphia, and Carolina.

There will be more teams interested in Markstom in the off-season. The draw of a deal with the Devils now is they’d get the value of - and be willing to pay for - a an extra playoff race and a shot at another playoffs, compared to 2 seasons that teams trading for him in the off-season will get.
