Teams looking for goaltending for sure: Ottawa, Buffalo, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Toronto
Teams that might want new goalies: Colorado, Detroit, Minnesota, Columbus, Carolina, Edmonton
So there potentially is a market there...but the risk is that in the offseason teams tend to sometimes go "We can get by with what we have" or Markstrom just decides that he doesn't want to waive.

But there’s always risk. To me that’s the real problem here. Fans only want perfect moves that are easy and obvious wins for the flames, involve an overpay from our trade partner and are perfect in hindsight.
It’s just not that easy. What is easy to do is criticize Conroy for not doing what we want (get a huge return for Marky). Ultimately Conroy will make the right move some times and the wrong move other times. To be a good GM he needs to make more good moves than bad but the margins are razor thin.
