Really hope that is a bargaining position. The likelihood that the Flames will be competitive during Markstrom’s contract is extremely low. If the Flames are going to be an elite team again the timeline that that will likely be on includes a goalie lone Wolf or maybe someone in the system like Sergeev who is putting up way better numbers than the starter at Conn but is still the backup because the other guy is a senior. Or it could be a goalie we don’t know about yet. But Markstrom, despite his brilliance, will not be the goalie in all likelihood when the Flames are competitive again.
