Thatcher Demko is their guy going forward. He's 23, he's been seasoned in the AHL for ages, and I think they're looking at next year as his big coming out party.

Markstrom's deal expires after 2019-20. He's turning 30 next season and I don't think they'll be looking to bring him back as a UFA. I think the Flames might do well to reach out.

Edit -- moneyhands, if that is indeed the case, well, interesting. But with Demko as the presumed heir apparent, I really wonder what Benning's plan is. I would think they'd try to avoid a Schneider/Luongo situation.
