I could see Jersey wanting Markstrom, but I feel like Hanifin would be less important to them. They already have some decent D options/prospects between Hughes, Nemec, Casey, Bahl, and of course Hamilton. They could likely chase Hanifin in the summer if they wanted. There are some other UFA options that would cost them nothing but cap space as well. Seeing this year is kind of a write off for them due to injury and bad goaltending, I'm not sure Hanifin would be a priority for them right now.
