I'd reply to you
YyjFlames, but it won't let me for some reason.
"If that were the case, why would he talk about trading it for a goalie in their team’s age range or a little older?"
Where did Fitz say that? I heard him speak about giving his young and talented team a chance by adding a good number one, but I don't remember him saying what you claim. Could you find the quote for me? Because I can't seem to find what you're saying and I'm not saying I don't believe you.
The closest thing I could find was: "If we feel it helps us now and in the foreseeable future, then, yes, I'm listening."
Markstrom helps both now and in the foreseeable future, but not much beyond that. I don't see mention of the goaltenders age in that quote...just that they need a great goalie for their young team filled with wasted potential.
