Actually as I reported the other day Vladar was unlikely to move as the Flames still think he has starting goalie upside and they will almost certainly move Markstrom in the off season. I think if someone had offered a 2nd the Flames would pivot on that but the offers from my understanding were very weak on Vladar. You keep Vladar and tandem him with Wolf and you don't have to spend money or assets on bringing in another goalie once Marky moves.
