And then the deal didn't happen.

You'd be having family discussions about moving, trying to figure out logistics of things, etc etc. And then it's just a "Ooops didn't happen"

And Markstrom would probably have a lot more details about what happened and why the trade would have broken down than we did.

So it really feels like if Markstrom has frustrations with management there might be good reason for it.
He can be frustrated or annoyed thats cool, but he doesn't need to let it slip up in the media and sound entitled.

He makes millions of dollars to play a game, it's going to come with some sacrifices like hearing your name in trade rumours, even when you have protection from being traded.

Just like a person working 9-5 may have to sacrifice a meal to pay a bill.
