The thing is, goaltending has been their weakest link all season, and they have the best AHL goalie right under their noses, doesn't even get a sniff. The solution is not Markstrom, not Vladar (as we hoped) so what does Tre do?
- Nothing and hope for Markstrom "comes around" (hope is not a strategy)
-Call Up Wolf
-Trade for Talbot or Quick or ???? Quick would be an interesting pick up. Age seems to be catching up with him but he was great in the playoffs last year vs EDM.

Being a goalie is the heaviest psychological position to play. We are seeing it with Markstrom right now in my opinion. Do you want to do what is best for the player or put the pressure on him to salvage a season. Wolf comes in and gets blown up then probably does more harm than good. The kid is 22 and has plenty of time.
