If you're a team that wants to win and take a step you probably look at Bob now and say "Marktstrom probably isn't too old"

Several teams also have their players in their prime now, with a contender window of 2-4 years. They need a goalie to last 2-4 years, and without that #1 goalie they are burning the majority of their windows.
Also hopefully Treliving does something dumb.
