His reaction suggests to me he thought the deal was done.

I think Conroy had kind of said all along, that he wasn't going to ask Markstrom to waive his no Move clause unless he was ready to pull the trigger. So, no matter the noise, until he was asked it was irrelevant.
It sounds like he was asked and then the deal was pulled after he waived. So, from his point they should not have asked him if they were not going to make the trade. Which I agree with.
There is some grey area on whether they did actually ask him to waive or not, but there are enough reports saying that he didn't think he was coming back after that road trip out east, makes me think he was asked and had agreed.
