If the Oilers sign him I will be extremely happy. It will cripple their franchise more than any move they've made since they got Adam Larson.
If Treliving signs him. That'll be the last big mistake he makes. Unfortunately it'll continue to harm the Flames long after he's gone.
I really hope Treliving is just raising the price, like he may have done with Josh Anderson on Columbus.
But the fact that we are hearing Markstrom rumors and not Hall rumors is not promising.
Imagine a 37 year old goalie who only had a career 91.1% while he was at his prime (30).
I wouldn't be surprised if Markstrom's career save percentage is 90.3 or lower by the end of this contract (if it' s6+ years).

Be honest, how many Canucks games did you watch last season? Markstrom was the best goalie in the league for me, numbers don't tell you everything.
NHL GMs thought he was 4th best. Vancouver would have been in the basement with average goal tending, there is a reason teams are lining up and he is the most sought after.
