Markstrom is the best goalie the Flames have had since Kipper and there’s no reason to believe he doesn’t have a few great years left in him. Unless you are pretty confident you have an adequate replacement for him in the system than you’d have to be crazy to trade him unless it’s an absolute home run. And as good as Wolf is I just don’t think he’s the guy. I’m guessing Conroy knows this. Trading Markstrom even for a player like Mercer and a first could set the team back for who knows how long. I’ll be surprised if Markstrom is traded at all unless he asks for one.
