Ownership stopped massive deal at the last second

The Calgary Flames have started a rebuild, that much is known around the National Hockey League, but it seems like the Flames aren't done just yet. As it appears they had a deal to send a very prominent player to the Eastern Conference before the deal was squashed at the last second.

According to Frank Seravalli on the Daily Faceoff Podcast, the Flames had a deal in place to send Jacob Markstrom to the Devils, but the ownership group stepped in and stopped it; take a look.





Calgary's President of Hockey Operations, Don Maloney speaking on behalf of the Flames ownership stopped the trade from happening.

If I was Markstrom, I would be so Andy and frustrated about how this situation has turned out. If he didn't fully want out of Calgary before this, I bet he does now.

Plus, New Jersey is a team that desperately needs goaltending help, so the ownership group nixing the trade probably made both sides angry to some degree.
