Gd deal for Both guess JS
i would love to know what the asking prices were for Sarros and Ulmark
Cory, on the contrary, this is the exact right move to make when you have two very talented, but young, goalies in the system. They can now focus on development in the minors where the belong instead of being put in unfair situations. Jacob has a chance to go deep in the playoffs and dare I say win a cup before hanging up his equipment. I believe this is the best move for both.
Markstrom's age is a small concern but for a 34 year old, he hasnt played a ton of games. 485 in his career, most as a backup. In comparison, Bobrovsky is 35 and has played 200 more games in his career.
IDK if that means that Markstrom cant handle a full workload, but the few times he's had a solid team in front of him, he's been a big reason why that team has been good.
Either way it was a move the Devils needed to make and prob should've made at the deadline last year if Calgary wasnt holding out for more value. All that time wasted and they probably didnt get anything more than they would have in March
