Said above.
More teams in the mix, less salary cap complications/more time to sort them, more clarity post-playoffs for those who feel that goaltending held them back.
Pressure isn’t everything unless you’re thinking Markstrom’s entire value is predicated on a team making a mistake. Even then, there’s the pressure of the summer goaltending game of musical chairs ending and be left without a goaltender.
He’s signed for two more years at a reasonable cap hit and the Flames could retain.
