Couple of things to remember.
Just because a trade didn't happen doesn't mean the rumor wasn't true, there was more than enough smoke from multiple people including even Pierre Lebrun that said the teams were deep in trade discussion again. Nobody was making things up even though some posters seem to want nothing more than for that to be true.
And just because it's not done yet, doesn't mean it won't be completed.
As somebody else already posted Lindholm was informed on the Sunday that he was likely traded to Vancouver and that didn't happen until late on Wednesday...and that should have been a bit easier to coordinate as there were no games to consider.
Devils play a huge game tomorrow vs the Flyers, the team they are trying to chase in the Metro Division standings.
If this is a big trade I doubt they want to be playing that game short handed and without Markstrom and doubt you want to trade for Markstrom and throw him right into an outdoor game he hasn't prepped for...but after their game tomorrow they have Sunday and Monday off.
Will be very intriguing to see if Markstrom is in the starters net tomorrow.
