Great comment saying it came from an Oiler fan.
That has nothing to do with it and your comment about winning now is my point exactly. From what I've seen most posters on here want him traded because that is the highest value he has and he is 34 years old. Markstrom gives them the best chance to win right now but it's not about that. It's about maximizing the value for him. They can get the most for him at the deadline.
And the chemistry in the room? The players in the room already know they are sellers. Tanev was dealt, Lindholm was dealt and Hanifin is about to be dealt. Those players I understand are UFA's but every player in that room knows they aren't buyers. And like I said it's not like they are safely in a playoff spot. The best move for them is to trade Markstrom and I'm sure the majority of the board would agree. But again, great comment with the it came from an Oilers fan!
