I don’t get all the Markstrom hate. Yeah, he hasn’t been the same since coming back from injury, and maybe he shouldn’t have returned. But would you be killing yourself in front of this sad sack team?
He’s still a top 10-12 goalie in this league. If Tre put the word out that he was available, the phones would be ringing off the hook. The Leafs would likely hand over Nylander ++ in a package for Markstrom. He’s likely the most valuable trade asset the organization has, but they’d be foolhardy to even consider it.
Ah, what am I thinking anyways?
It’s time to trust the process. This team is close, no matter what the results say. We were in on 31 deals this summer, but all that was really needed is some minor tweaks for depth. This team is better than their record.
Did I get Tre’s opening press conference remarks on October 1, 2021 right?
