We have no idea if Markstrom has any interest in that either.
No guy we have is going to instruct Wolf on how to stop pucks... if we get a guy to be a mentor for Wolf it would be to advise him on the mental and preparation aspects of being a pro at the highest level. You don't need specifically Markstrom for that and you certainly don't need him at the cost of maximizing his asset value for that.
The point is that we don't need Markstrom to be a mentor for Wolf if we want a veteran goalie to use his veterany goodness to hand out his veteran presents like Goalie Santa we can sign a guy to do that. They likely won't stop pucks as good as Markstrom has this year but that's immaterial to the question of mentorship.
