They aren't opposed to trading Markstrom, but the asking price is different depending on who the asking team is.
Doesn't expect anything until draft weekend
My comment - we've officially gone in a complete circle. The contender comment was the same comment trotted out by insiders when they didn't trade him at the deadline. The draft can't get here soon enough.

Every trade Conroy has made since Toffoli has been a rebuilding trade, I suspect his next trades will be as well. He definitely traded Zadorov and Lindholm early enough that he could have done retooling trades if he wanted but he didn’t. I just think the Flames (like every team not named the New York Rangers) are unwilling to publicly say they are rebuilding and not trying to win.
