Flames should be shooting to be competitive in 3 seasons at this point.

I was one of Markstrom's biggest detractors last season, but there is a pretty clear comparison in Florida right now as to why you may not want to sell on Markstrom too soon and put all the pressure on Wolf.
In Florida people were ready to fire Bobrovsky to the moon, and were ready to hand the reigns to Knight.
Now Knight has had some performance and personal issues, and Bobrovsky is probably their playoff MVP along with Tkachuk.
I'd be a lot more comfortable with putting less pressure on Wolf and running with Wolf/Markstrom than I would with Wolf/Vladar.
The flip side is also what type of return you'd get but we don't have that info. If Markstrom is going to somehow return a 1st round pick then of course you move him.
