    Unless it’s a truly insane package, I hope he stays and stamps our ticket to the playoffs.

    Markstrom Wolf will be a good tandem going forward as well.

  2. Not the time to trade Markstrom. Wolf is not ready to carry the load of a number 1 goaltender and Vladar is gone after this season most likely. If the Flames resign Vladar it would be only in a number 2 role.

    Flames finally have a forward thinking GM with the greenlight to think longterm. That’s legitimately exciting.

    If the Devils want the Flames to retain on Markstrom, the ask is likely exorbitant, and rightfully so. Like a package around Mercer. No other reason for the Flames to even consider approaching Markstrom.

    The only way we trade Marky is if we get Simon Nemec as the centrepiece back probably with additions.

    I can’t see any player they’d be willing to part other then that for a trade that would make it worth while

    Elliot Friedman: Markstrom isn’t comfortable when there are trade reports involving him

    Also Elliot Friedman: So you know who had trade talks about Markstrom?!?!!

    I hope they get off this Markstrom trade nonsense, We got a hot goalie can’t we enjoy that and win some games? I understand they need to maneuver for the future, but we have the best goalie currently, and a future star in the wings. Maneuver something else.

    I just don’t see it happening this year. We’re probably going to miss the playoffs, you guys are much more alive in the race in the west.

    I wouldn’t even want to give up Mercer and I think the consensus here is that we would have to add a decent amount.

    If I do end up seeing a player I love traded though, I hope it’s to the Flames, who are already my West team. This season is quickly becoming unsalvageable as a Devils fan, I think the price would be too high for Markstrom since CGY has no real reason to trade him given the standings.

    I just don’t think it will happen before the offseason. I’d imagine Marky would be open to waiving if you guys do end up trading Hanifin and Tanev in addition to Lindholm and Zadorov.
