Kuzmenko is another example, teams were interested at adding him in the offseason and calling the Flames about him, now he would pass through waivers.
Markstrom was probably untradeable the summer before fetching a 1st + Bahl.
Huberdeau went from getting Tkachuk to untradeable within half a season.

I think if a team made a serious offer for Kuzmenko he would have been gone in the offseason. I don’t remember any rumours besides the Blackhawks having some interest on a swap
