Assuming Saros re-signs with the Preds, that leaves Markstrom and Ullmark as the legit starters on the market. Ullmark is rumoured to have nixed a deal out west, and will likely use his NTC to ensure he stays in the east. Markstrom also has an NTC, but it’s not clear what his preferences are, besides the fact he accepted a move to NJ.
The Hurricanes are said to be wanting to give Kotchetkov more starts next season, and Anderson is signed for one year and has an NTC. So I don’t see them in the market for a starter.
So it probably shakes out something like this.
Market for Ullmark:
NJD
OTT
TOR
Market for Markstrom:
NJD
OTT
LA
TOR
COL
Both have NTCs, so Ottawa could get shut out. I could see it playing out as Ullmark to NJD and Markstrom to LA or TOR.
