Keep in mind Markstrom is losing landing spots at the same time.

Steinberg just said that Calgary's offer all on Markstroms terms. Term, cost and protection.

I’m good with this signing, hope it’s reasonable.
Literally what else were you going to do? Goalie with the fewest question marks available.

Is it too much to ask for one credible twitter user to post that it's confirmed?
This has been a roller coaster of emotion the past 20 minutes.

Cups get devalued based on how he played recently. And UFA has more leverage than RFA right? Not apples and oranges. It's enough of a comp

I think I'd rather give up assets than pay Markstrom north of Murray's AAV

I just pray it isnt 6 years and buyout proof

Signing Halak is never a bad decision. But he likes playing on the east coast, and he’s not a long term answer at this stage.
Schneider is a goalie with hip issues. That’s about as useful as a blind fighter pilot.
Markstrom’s the best goalie they’ve had since Kiprusoff.
Kippers 27-35sv %:
.933
.923
.917
.906
.903
.920
.906
.921
Markstrom, 26-30, since he became a regular.
.915
.912
.912
.918
Markstrom isn’t Kipper. Nobody is.
But he’s damn good, and he’s put up those numbers on a rebuilding Canucks squad.
We could’ve done worse - see the last six years.

If someone can't enjoy it because it may cost the Flames 1M more than they hoped (zomg one less fourth liner) it doesn't seem like much fun to be a fan like that.
What is the worst that happens? Flames might not win the cup? I have been through the worst, this is a big win for me and I am gonna enjoy it

Its all fun Dino not trying to be a party pooper

6x6 with protection was what he reportedly asked Vancouver during negotiations. Expect Tre agreed to finally secure a true #1.

The Flames will have to overpay for Markstrom because looking at the other options, it's not pretty. Going into next season Rittich and another short term solution would be disappointing.

Well, thats the game you play when you go after the tippy top ufa at the hardest position to acquire. No way around it. I want the dollars to be low with 6 years as the term but what can you do? There is now an extremely sizable gap to the next available goalie.

We had Kent Nilsson, who was better than six Swedes combined.

I predict something like 6 years at 5.95M, with a NMC.

That is definitely concerning. 6x6 with NMC?

I think thats about right, but don't be surprised if it is now closer to 6.5 if we gave him everything he is looking for.
