Because even if NJ had a slip this year their roster is clearly much further along than Calgary’s which is turning in the other direction. The Devils have a TON of youth and high end talent, they need a true number 1 and Marky is that with 2 more years on his contract after this year. Marky wants to win too so I’m sure he’d look at the Devils roster that has multiple 1OA’s, tons of youth in important positions and I think Markstrom would recognize he probably has a better chance to win there than we Calgary for the duration of his contract. It’s not just about this year.
