All of these reports about the Devils circling back on Markstrom every few days, at this point if he doesn't make the deal and the Devils miss the playoffs from bad goaltending, you'd have to think he might lose his job.
Goaltending has been their Achilles' heel all season, if Markstrom comes in and sneaks them into the playoffs this season and then gets them 2 more solid playoff runs, that should be worth at least one premium asset (Mercer) IMO.
I think the deal goes through, too many eyes on Fitz right now. He waited way too long, but there's still a fool's hope that they can get hot down the stretch.
