Well, that's just you.

So what have the Flames just signed?

The Flames have signed a lovely human being and a remarkable NHL goalie over the last two seasons. There is no reason to expect him to make some major regression to what he was before, even without the tutelage of goalie coach Ian Clark, who is credited with getting Markstrom to the next level. Should there be concerns? As with all UFA signings, there is some. He's had issues with health for the past two seasons, having back, knee and hip issues. Not uncommon for a goalie, though their timing has been a bit back-breaking for the team as they have come during the stretch run of Jan - March in each of the last two seasons and again in the play-offs this year. Realistically he will bring stability to a position to the net for the Flames and will perform up to his contract for half of it at least. Like all goalies, he will have off games. Like all goalies, he will let in the odd bad goal, but in Markstrom's case it's very VERY rare.

Vancouver would probably prefer to keep him, but between Demko looking to take on a bigger work load and the expansion draft in a season there was no way to guarantee keeping both if signed. Losing Demko for free when Markstrom is in his 30s is not a palatable option, and wouldn't be for any team. So Holtby becomes the 1b to Demko's 1a.

2-3 swings at goalies. He's on his last strike for goaltending.

If Calgary continues to be mediocre in the next 2 years, he's gone anyways. This deal is the next GMs problem.

Let's be honest, he probably won't play that 6th year here. He'll get bought out, retire or get traded with a sweetener.

With it being quiet I imagine they're just hammering out some details and getting it signed.

That, and unlike Brouwer and Neal, he's not already declining. This has been my most excited signing in years. Flames finally hopefully have a number one goalie instead of spinning wheels on washed up goalies.

Condensed schedule. You need two goalies this coming season. Markstrom + Rittich would give us strong goaltending at the NHL level.

...assuming Markstrom gets finalized.

No kid to bring up.
Gillies is a UFA. Parsons needs much more time and a full healthy season.
I bring BSD back.

Yes please. I think Ritter is flamed out. Likely not happy with how things have went here.

6 years is okay if it keeps the AAV below $5.5M

Doubtful it’s that low. More likely $5.5M. But who really knows.

Vancouver is in good shape in net now and for the next couple years.
