my friend's dad who is close to one of the guys in management said that he told them the plan was to play Markstrom yesterday until NJ become pretty serious in talks with them late Wednesday night.
He said that Lindholm also knew the Sunday that he was likely heading to Vancouver before it was official Wednesday.
So I suspect it seems likely it is pretty much a done deal, but working out small details.
He told me earlier in the week that they looked at Holtz, Mercer, Vanacek and Siegenthaler as pieces that would potentially head back to Calgary. Not sure if that changed, but id expect that 2 or 3 of those names come back depending how big this deal gets.
