I think there is some gamesmanship that goes on. You don't want to give other GMs the impression that you need to trade a player at any cost. In Andersson's case, Conroy is playing up that Andersson is going into a contract year and poised for a big season, and that he is prepared to play in Calgary next season, and they'll gladly keep him. Same thing with leaking that you want to re-sign a player. It just makes you seem less desperate to sell.
