it's too bad they couldn't solve the goalie logjam. They obviously didn't HAVE to move Markstrom and were right to ask for a ton, bit if you also believe Vladar still has #1 upside AND have a guy like Wolf waiting in the AHL, something has to happen soon enough. If only Fitz had just paid up instead of whining about extortion, but it is what it is ... just have to hope there'll be a good market and competition for Markstrom in the summer.
I guess the most frustrating part to me is that the answer to "where are we?" is still "the mushy middle". Once again, we're not bad enough to draft high, but not good enough to be a playoff team ... it's the Calgary Curse, drafting 15th and going nowhere. Trading Markstrom would have given a much clearer answer as to where this ship is headed, but right now, it just feels like we're treading water. Once again.
