Lose/lose for the Flames if Markstrom stays. He’ll keep stealing points but I think it will get a lot harder once Tanev and Hanifin are gone.

Have to agree with this. Looking at standings as of right now they have some work to do to make the playoffs. Even if Markstrom was traded today I highly doubt he would be able to play for them this weekend because of visa issues. 2 loses this weekend and devils are done. At that point they can take their time to acquire a goalie. hoping devils win this weekend to keep Markstrom trade alive. That said I only want Markstrom traded if we are getting a haul for him. I still think he would be a great mentor for wolf next season. Plus flames aren’t rebuilding they are re-tooling with hopes of making playoffs next year.
