Whether anyone is checking him out is a different story

Just usually something you maybe ask about verbally and get into the details of when it gets more serious but expecting to get his medical records when a deal isn't even close and 5 teams are kicking tires seems odd. Getting access to/sharing someone's medical records is handled pretty carefully outside the NHL, is considered pretty sensitive personal info under privacy law and not something you can pass around without consent from the individual in most cases.
Anyway, readily admit that what I don't know about the NHL and its trade processes is vast so maybe it's different here!
Do think that moving Markstrom would be a good move for the flames if the return is good. Wince a little at how bad the team will be without him but would be a huge step in the direction of rebuilding the team.
