The New Jersey Devils have obviously been in trade talks with the Calgary Flames to acquire goaltender Jacob Markstom. Over the past couple of days it seems as if this deal may be falling apart. This is dragging out and has become exhausting.
Is Linus Ullmark the answer?
It seems that Patrik Laine is done in Columbus. Laine’s agent and the Columbus Blue Jackets are working together to find him a new home. Should the NJ Devils be interested?!?
Does Steven Stamkos stay with the Tampa Bay Lightning, or is he headed for Free Agency?
I discuss it all in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Wouldnāt mind Gibson , younger and has 3 yrs basically same cap hit as Marky
personally, I dont see anyone available being worth the 10th overall pick, all the goalies that the Devils could trade for are either too old or will need a new expensive contract. I'm willing to try Brossoit or Stolarz and let the season play out to hopefully get a goalie at the deadline if someone becomes available. Like you said, Markstrom is unhappy in Calgary, he'll want out all season long. The Devils have a great young core, this year is not the be all end all for this core, we have time. Look at Edmonton, they kept their picks, got Evan Bouchard 9th overall who took their team to the next level on a cheap deal
Blessing in disguise š„ø
Please just get Ullmark fitzy
Yo Ace.. things are about to get interesting very soon.

I think the Devils will pass on Jacob Markstrom, trade John Marino. Akia Schmid, Nathan Bastian, Nolan Foote, the 139th pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, and a 2025 4th-rounder to the Bruins for Jeremy Swayman, sign Jeremy to an 8-year contract extension worth $96 million ($12 million AAV a year), and sign Anthony Stolarz to a 3-year contract worth $6.3 million ($2.1 million AAV a year), so next season, Jeremy and Anthony will form one of the best goalie tandems the Devils have ever seen since Martin Brodeur and Chris Terreri.
Just keep the young goalies away from Rogalsky. Itās crazy to me that weāre retaining him considering how many goalies weāve gone through and that 0 of them had long term improvement and more than half had their play actually get significantly worse under him. With Laine, agree for the right price Iād do it. Maybe a team like Utah can be a broker using one of those fourth rounders or something to take an extra million or two. Laine is a win now move and also makes it easier to move someone like Holtz. Could be a younger, quicker, and after retention more affordable version of Toffoli for us
Definitely inquire about Binnington. He will cost a lot(10 OA, roster player, prospect) but, he led the league in GSAE, proven playoff performer, and has 3 years left at $6 mill. Hofer is the goalie of the future there.
Only way we trade Nemec or Mercer is for Brady and something else in return
The goalie market is ridiculous. All GMās with a decent goalie are having super high EGO trips and demanding way too much for average middle to old age goaltenders. Itās a constant ego GM battle by Canada and other GMās that want everything for an average goaltender player. Itās absurd!
I really donāt want to use our 10th pick, but why do I have a feeling we will end up drafting. In my opinion we must trade this pick at utmost urgency for something productive.
Calgary can go shove its head up its own a$$. Broissoit or Stolarz and two monster defensemen who arenāt taking any sh*t off anyone.
Steve Kouleas is on Sirius XM NHL Radio Channel 91 , he actually knows quite a bit but that trade idea yea no chance
I agree with everything you are saying here
Three goalies man.
What we got from the toff trade swing that plus a 5th for liane 25% retained
To be fair nobody does well in Columbus , the off ice issues got me worried a little
Stamkos here would bring excellent leadership qualities to a young team and he still is a productive player. Laine I feel is shot. He may give you a highlight reel goal on occasion, but all too often checks out and looks disinterested.
Can you imagine a line with Stamkos, Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt? Or Stamkos, Hischier, Meier? Talk about a deadly weapon! I can keep dreaming lol š
I dont really want Markstrom we need a younger goalie
You could get Saros for the 10th and Holtz.
The bottom line is Markstrom doesn't want to go to Ottawa…he wants to win now and the Senators aren't there in the next two years.
Toronto has Berube…not exactly the coach I would choose, he is a bit of a task master.
It doesn't matter what anyone offer Calgary…Markstrom can reject it. It does matter to him his contract remains the same. And the only place we know he has ever agreed to go to is NJ
I may be in the minority here, but I would be happy re-signing Kaapo Kahkonen. He played well while he was here, he should come in at a reasonable cost, he's younger, and I think he is trending up. If we are going to trade our first round pick, I want a stud D-man, or something, "significant." I do not want a 30 or 34 year old goalie who is going to potentially cost megabucks. If Fitz can't make a deal, I hope he drafts Berkly Catton. I don't think it will take long for him to be in the NHL.
Fitz is blowing it. He put all his nutz in 1 basket!! Now he is getting burned. The 10th is way to much alone. And they want a player!! Get lost!! Fitz can't make this move but if he doesn't do something he will lose his job!!
You donāt just need a win-now goalie, Ace; you need a younger win-now and win-again!! Saris, Mark, or Bennington would work, not Markstrom! Although I would be excited about Yegor returning. š
I can't think of any available or tradeable goalie that isn't a calculated risk. Maybe Saros? I'm with you on Brossoit. I think that's our best bet at the moment. Screw Calgary. They Fd it up once. If they want to F it up twice, F em.
I get the feeling some commentators will talk about a team but clearly don't follow that team. That guy heard NJ needs a goalie, and doesn't have any more context than that. That's my guess. EJ Radek is another guy who has sounded clueless about the Devils a few times.
