I appreciate Markstrom. He may have been hot and cold during his tenure here, but you could never knock his heart or GAF meter. He signed a fair long term contract and was willing to be moved when the time was right (even if he was a bit disgruntled with the process).

We were able to flip him into two solid pieces for our rebuild/retool.

And best of all he helped ensure that first round pick was a decent one.

He can have a hot year next year now and lead the Devils further in playoffs and earn a retirement contract for all I care. Thanks Marky!
