It would be no different then saying they hadn’t agreed on the round of the pick.
New Jersey probably said they weren't going to get deep into talks or details unless they could get assurance ahead of time that Markstrom would waive. It's a huge waste of time for one thing, but also embarrassing for team to have a deal in place only to find out that the player won't waive to go there. Any GM worth their salt will sort that part before it gets to that point.
