Some brass don’t forget the trade request…
At least one team has inquired about Markstrom but they wanted retention +. your only have to get hot for 2 months and when Markstrom is on he can steal games… maybe next summer.
Conroy is meeting/met with Bubba this weekend.

If a team is asking about Markstrom I think you make it happen. I’d rather go with growing pains with Wolf and Vladar and sell Vladar at the ‘24TDL/‘24 draft/‘25TDL.
No retention but be willing to take on a bad contract back, hopefully with a year or two less on it.
I do understand seeing if Markstrom can increase his value though, he played a lot better after his son was born.
