"I don't think Jacob Markstrom's issue with the Flames front office is at all with Craig Conroy," said NHL insider Frank Seravalli. "My understanding, and this is a belief I've had for 3 weeks or a month now, is that the Flames and [New Jersey] Devils had agreed to a trade on Markstrom. They had gone to Markstrom and said 'We are thinking about trading you to New Jersey' and he gave them the green light."
"The two sides, I believe, had agreed in principle to a trade and above Craig Conroy... Don Maloney on behalf of ownership, is believed to have nixed this trade," said Seravalli.
