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.
All true. The media doesn't help and I don't blame people for wanting to walk away from that part either. "I don't want to talk about it during the season." "Yeah, but what about today?"...like...no f*** off.

Same with Hanifin. Team has some nice wins and the first thing he's asked about is trades. Both Johnny and Tkachuk (especially Johnny) constantly pestered about their commitment to stay etc... Just shut up. It's like a partner always asking if you're mad at them.
