The fact that the Markstrom to NJ rumours refuse to go away speaks to the other team's desire to bring in the player.
NJ is re-approaching the negotiation table and caving on one of the Flames' demands. Evidently, internally, they've determined that Markstrom is their best and most viable option to address their goaltending now and moving forward.
The only one I'm interesting in them caving on though is Mercer. And I suspect this is a concession NJ hopes will allow them to get the trade done without sending Mercer.
