I would be a bit surprised if the Jersey deal would be their first (this year) and Holtz. Maybe it was in January, but I’d be very surprised, in a good way, if Jersey is still dangling the 11OA pick for Markstromand that’s a deal I would make. If it is true that deal was accurate then I can understand Fitzgerald comment about being extorted. That’s a hell of a price to pay for a 34 year old goalie.


As for Ottawa and Buffalo, I can’t see either of them trading those assets for Andersson. He has two years left on his deal. That’s not much. Ottawa just traded a top 10 pick for one year of Debrindcat. Not too sure how eager they would be to step in that trap again especially seeing as they’re going to have to surrender a 1st round pick for nothing at some point in the next 3 years, I believe.i would have an easier time seeing Buffalo, maybe, but again, Andersson doesn’t have much term left. Also, how would he fit, salary wise, with a blue line that already has Dahlin, Power, and Byram? Those three guys aren’t cheap, or don’t be. Buffalo could still do it but I’m not sure that’s their plan.

Debrincat had 2 years left when they traded for him, 1 year left when he was traded to Detroit.
