Flames my favorite team and devils are my #2 so I'm loving this trade. Devils finally get a goalie and flames get a defensive defenseman I like and a 1st round pick to help their future. Personally, with my eyeball test I'd compare Bahl to Gudbranson. After flames traded half their D core away last year they need some guys like this
Trade makes sense right now for both teams really.
Best thing about this is the devils still have their top ten pick for this year. Let's go for a top six forward to pair with Jacky Boy tons of cap space still!
Very happy for the Devils on this one… You need a new perimeter board now with Arizona gone..m
i like Markstrom but i feel any first rounder is kind of expensive for a goalie his age. plus Bahl was one of the very few devils with imposing size, and also with a favorable contract. for this price i would rather have gotten Ulmark. but maybe Boston's trade price was way too high
One domino down for NJ, let's knock down a few more Tom
Flames got fleeced
Marky could thrive there.
For me, as a Flames fan, this is sad news, but probably inevitable news. They didn't have room to keep Markstrom, Vladar, and Wolf on their NHL roster. They obviously don't want to trade away Wolf any time soon, and since it seemed the relationship with Markstrom had already been soured, he was the obvious choice.
Plus in terms of return value, Flames will have gotten more back for Marky than they would have for Vladar. I don't know much about Bahl, but Calgary definitely could use a defensive-defenceman or two in their lineup.
We retain and it’s top 10 protected.🤦♂️
Not so bad for Calgary. They seem to be building a bigger team. Markstrom wanted out, Wolf wants in, and with a no trade clause, it kinda limited what Conroy could do.
as a flames fan the return is decent, nothing to complain about except maybe the retained, but seeing conroy mention something about "as well as acquiring important draft capital, while maintaining our commitment as a playoff competitive team", its so over, we needed a rebuild, not a retool with a half ahl team at this point, its so over (i'm never gunna doom harder)
As a Devils fan I think this is a fair trade for both teams. I like it
This was inevitable and the return Calgary got was about what I expected. Have to make room for Wolf somehow.
Markstrom-Kahkonen is a very solid tandem. Going from one of the worst tandems in the league to that is very good
That Flames magnet is awesome. I want one now.
Unless devils win the cup, this is a win for the flames. Dont know what devils fitzgerald is doing… last year they lose severson, graves.. their D was worse.. they were pretty solid D the year before… for me it wasnt the goalies lasy year..
They should have done some scouting in europe and get a veteran tendy there for cheep. That 1 rounder they could have used for a solid D…
Get som better gm devils… thats just circus
Calgary did great! A 1st and a mid-grade prospect for a goalie who is well past 30 and doesn’t want to be here? Perfect
I guess the rebuild is official? considering Calgary paid nothing to get him not a terrible return
Funny how this trade could impact the Habs depending how many games Jake Allen gets to play with Markstrom in net.
I believe the Devils were better off with Allen.
Yakub!
Trading for a 34yr old Goalie doesnt seem too smart, Markstrom only has 1 maybe 2 decent seasons left in him.
Review Coachella valley firebird's vs Hershey Bears final. Game 5-7 will be on NHL TV
I absolutely love this trade: the return for Ullmark is going to be awesome!
Best goalie tandem named Jake in the league folks.
Finally traded but not the exact trade that the Calgary Flames are hoping for. Young defenseman looks like a nice replacement for Nikita Zadorov and get a first rounder in 2025 where the Calgary Flames pick is in limbo.
Obviously JM had no intention on going elsewhere…. This trade was weak…. Honestly if Connie was held hostage he did ok otherwise It wax underwhelming
I am a bit surprised that neither Daws or Schmid were included in this deal. I can only assume that one of them may get moved separately.
That’s hopefully one problem solved for the Devils. Now what about that defense? Is just hope and pray Dougie doesn’t get hurt again or are they gonna bring in reinforcements?
Both teams got what progressed them further towards their current goals. I'll miss Marky in Calgary, but looking forward to Bahl and whatever that 2025 (or 2026) first looks like.
Calgary got more than I would have expected.
Great trade for NJD, for that price he is a great add. However, they should have made this move earlier in the season and not now.
