He’s seemed as happy as I’ve ever seen him this year and definitely seems to have found his grove again, the teams vibe during the mentor trip has been pretty incredible too and you could tell Marky was especially enjoying it with his bro.
I’m very much in the I’ll believe it if/when I see it camp but I do welcome the thought of this franchise selling high on a contract that largely will likely go to waste during its duration here. Marky on a contender makes a ton of sense to me and if the offer is rich enough I could see the Flames asking Markstrom if he’d consider.
Ultimately it’s Markstroms decision and this is all just minor smoke but we shall see if it turns into an ember here sometime next week. I do think Conroy wants to make a move here in January to get a bit of a jump on the market and because he has a lot to do and consider with only 7 or so weeks to do it.
