I would be okay with a Markstrom to NJ trade. NJ has an excess of high end young players, and they appear ready to dispose of them in exchange for pieces that will allow them to compete now with their core built around J. Hughes. Would really love to see a trade for Holtz or Mercer. The dream would be Nemec. I wonder if the Flames could add Lindholm or a re-signed Hanifin to make that happen.
Losing Markstrom also likely lands the Flames a top 5 pick this year.
Going into a rebuild with Zary, Coronato, Pelletier, this year's top 5, Nemec, Wolf, etc..could turn the team around really quickly. Could be a true retool.
