What they say is there was an ask for Markstrom retained but disagreement on the price. So NJ said they would not need retention. But that was a new deal with presumably different and lesser compensation coming back. The reporting also says Calgary always had Mercer in the ask. So I suspect the Markstrom retained ask was 1st+Holtz+ Mercer for Markstorm retained, and NJ said no, but we will give you 1st plus Holtz for Markstrom and Calgary said no.
