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.
This certainly sounds pretty reasonable. At the same time, I'm not in a tizzy that Markstrom voiced some frustration (not saying you are, but in general) nor do I see it as a PR disaster for the Flames.
