My guess is that the offers haven't been up to caliber of the asset being moved. Could be posturing but sounds like they are committed to keeping him now unless someone becomes desperate and submits an offer that can't be refused.
Personally I would rather move him (depending on the return of course) as he was a player deemed a liability last year. He could very easily regress and go back to where he was last year which would then be a wasted opportunity to capitalize.
In all of this I hope the Flames realize that they still need to do a rebuild/re-tool as you can see that our positioning in the standings has a lot to do with Markstrom. There is work that needs to be done and probably some pain that goes a long with it.
