Why people state this stuff like fact, I don’t know. I don’t see any reason why offers couldn’t be the same or better in the summer.
A few reasons:

- More goaltenders available in the summer, so takes away the buying team(s) focus on Markstrom as the primary target.

- Less urgency to make a move for a goaltender in the summer with a full season to play before playoffs.

- History of analytics deprioritizing goaltending and the assets to obtain it.
