Calgary is hovering near the wild card spot in the Western Conference, but do they have enough to push through, or should they decide to plan for the future and take advantage of Jacob Markstrom’s value and sell high? TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron shares his thoughts.

Of course the Flames should try to optimize on a return for Markstrom. However, I don't think Markstrom is very open to leaving Calgary based on recent comments.
Oh man this is gonna piss Jakob off even more 🤣
Yes. Markstrom should want to go to a contender, and the Flames should want to sell high on him. They won't be contending for the cup anytime soon.
Its not really up to them as he holds a NMC. but itsnt a GMs job to get the best return regardless of who the player is???
Isn’t this what they said about Florida last year? My favorite was in 2019 when a TSN writer was praising Ken Hitchcock in Edmonton and made the comment that things are not going so well for Craig Berube’s St Louis Blues… who won the cup that year? ????????
its not an unpopular opinion in Calgary. i can tell you Flames fans know what this team is and Markstrom is a good year bad year goalie who is having an incredible season.
How many games did Markstrom save for the flames this season?
5,6,7 ?
He is holding the team in there with a possible shot at the playoffs while Conroy is making moves around him to improve the team.
Hanifin should be the first to get traded and then possibly Tanev.
Hanifin would supply a good haul. Get that done, then see if Tanev should go also.
Teams are not all lusting over Tanev because they like old guys. They want him because he is a solid dependable experienced rock of a defenceman.
The kind of guy that maybe Calgary should be looking to get? No need. The Flames already have that guy and his name is Tanev.
Go all in on the rebuild. I dont care if were close to a playoff spot. Stick to the rebuild
i wish theyd trade him
