Markstrom at 100% has the 7th highest cap hit among goalies, which includes Carey Price.
Three goalies have a cap hit between $6-6.5M, Markstrom is better/more desirable than either Binnington or Gibson.
There are 12 goalies within $1M of his $6M cap hit, and a lot of them are ####ing terrible.
All this is to say, concerns about Marky’s cap hit are overblown.
Retention has already been established as an option for the right return.
Markstrom will return something we like. It’s not gonna be a 2nd and conditional 7th.
