Glad the Flames are continuing to ship out the malcontents. Markstom had to go. Getting a first rounder and a young NHL defenceman for an aging inconsistent goalie is good asset management. Not a slam dunk win, but the right thing to do.
To me, Markstrom will always be the Flames goalie who made Trevor Kidd and Brian Elliott look like a strong playoff performers. The way he quit on this team during the Edmonton series pretty much killed any goodwill from me. He never seemed to get up for big games including against our top rivals. Of all the guys we shipped out this year this is the one guy that deserves unrelenting boos from Flames fans.
