Why keep him? To try and win/build a winning culture? Nope, sorry - not going to happen. The team has a losing culture with Markstrom at the helm of the crease. All he’s doing is keeping this team drafting 9th rather than 5th. Both situations are that of a losing team.
I am sure the Flames would probably love to move Markstrom at the deadline but unless something has changed Markstrom doesn't want to move this year and has a NMC. Maybe once Lindholm is out he changes his mind, maybe he decides to pursue a winning team but everything I have heard is that Markstrom doesn't want to move this year. Maybe it is a family thing, maybe a team thing, could be a location thing, I don't know. Maybe he is open to moving in the offseason instead.
