Markstrom doesn't have ALL the control. He can't trade himself to a contender without the Flames agreeing. If Markstrom doesn't allow some leeway into where he ends up, he just may end up with a non-contending Flames team for the next two years - up until the TDL in his final season. Rumours seem to suggest he wants to play for a shot at a Cup so he would likely look beyond just one team in the event the Flames bring other teams as a possible destination.
