He can't.
Marky has an NMC and it is TOTALLY HIS DECISION as to whether he can be traded (or even wants to be) or not.
Maybe the message is "We're honouring a contract to which we are a party."
It might be tempered by "Marky has indicated that, if someone overpays massively and that deal is acceptable to the GM and the Flames, he'll.....CONSIDER.....waiving. But it is HIS decision, and we are happy to honour that regardless of circumstances. And right now he's playing well and the team loves him."
Wow. Just....wow.  |
From all accounts it sounds like he will waive for New Jersey. Even a ESPN report saying he thought he was staying in New Jersey last road trip.
I don't think the hang up is Markstrom, he seems like a competitive guy who wants to win, and that is not going to happen here for the remainder of his contract.
