Wedgewood has not played well enough to be comfortable heading towards what is hopefully a deep playoff run, so needed to find a tender.

Markstrom is a good fit this year and next for us (MAF retires this year). Scorp is sending $2M in cheese next year as well, which offsets the sting of moving what I consider is a highly rated prospect.

But this solves my starting tender problem for 1.5 years, which in SIM years is the equivalent of 5 years haha.

Thanks Scorp for the back and forth.

And I hate goalies in the SIM.
