I think that Conroy may have told them he really wanted Mercer and when Mercer was never going to be on the table, the alternative deal wasn't good enough for upstairs.
Conroy really wanting Mercer makes sense based on what he's said about positional needs, and how he's made his trades.

I think he might be referring to retention on Markstrom ie spending millions on a player that won’t be part of your hockey ops.
So maybe he means Bean didn’t sell well enough to Edwards or something? I dunno.
