Honestly. Boohoo to Markstrom.
These trades are immensely difficult to make. Why would both parties work on and hammer out a deal for potentially months on end only to have Markstrom nix it at the very final stage? The negotiations advanced to a stage where they felt is was important to approach Markstrom about the potential of waiving his no movement clause. Both sides thought a deal was going to get done. Conroy has had his absolute hands full dealing with all of Toffoli, Zadorov, Tanev, Lindholm, Hanifn and Markstrom..
Be a professional, shut your mouth and play the game. That's your job. Let the business side figure itself out. At the end of the day he is still in total of control of where he plays. Throwing a shot a Conroy through the media isn't going to help the situation. Voice your frustrations beyond closed doors if absolutely necessary.
