Straight up....agree. But Markstrom plus?
I think this really hinges on cost to NJ. If you read that article, they have some other things they need to do and have $18mm cap space. Mercer plus goalie plus fix their crap D plus round out their forwards probably uses up most of that. Then next year they need to deal with Luke Hughes and Nemec.
Ulmark, Markstrom, and Saros all have similar cap hits this coming year.
Ulmark (31) and Saros need contracts next year and those could be biggies.
Not saying Markstrom is best option but he has advantage of the extra year at reasonable price despite his age.
