The view that he isn't going to waive has sailed long ago.

That is not the messaging that I recall (none of which, also IIRC came from Marky...just others). He is, after all, in the drivers seat, has a 1 year old baby and may also be suffering his own form of fatigue from all this and would rather just deal with it in the summer.
Now that may or may not happen, but reality seems to be that none of us know how he feels about it atm. I'm all for it if the Flames get a bonus haul...but to get a meh return...well...meh.
And NJD needs to weigh whether trying to get him now...for 3 potential runs at a Cup is worth more to them than doing a summer deal and going for 2 potential runs. Conny can try, and offer and see...but his hands are also somewhat tied. He's not likely to give Marky away to someone who won't pony up when there's no need to trade him now, or at all.
