Nault was responding to this tweet and kept repeating, now I'm scared (or worried) or something stupid over and over as they went to break. About 4 times. ####.

When he's not interrupting someone his is tipping tables. Blah.

Anyone who actually watched a lot of Markstrom says he is by far the best guy on the market by far. People that haven't seen Holtby play in 3 years like him

Fair, but you can't make the worst value for money contract on your team be the benchmark for any other deals.

Well ya, cause he is in demand and gets to choose where he signs.

What we’ll find out is the difference (if any) between his reported asks and what he actually wanted.

All the big name free agents are going to get NMCs. That's just par for the course these days.

Nault being his usual know it all self while actually knowing nothing at all. He'd argue the color of the sky to make himself sound smarter, the issue is he just sounds like an idiot on everything.

Pat threw to break quoting the tweet about Markstrom getting term and paid, and all Nault kept repeating was that it scared him.

He's the same as members on here stating, "1 year longer than I would have given him", people like to think they know so much more than an NHL GM.

Why isn't this official yet? Reminds me of the Zucker situation.

His hit this morning on Fan960 was the best goalie analysis I've heard. So informative, breaking down the fit of a goalie to a team based on goalie strengths/weaknesses and team defensive style. Made a strong case for why Calgary should sign Markstrom.

We had to get one of them.

Neither wasn’t a viable option.
Yeah I was in the Holtby or Schneider reclaim bin. Same with wanting Halak last year. Talbot if he wanted to stay for reasonable money (3x2).also figured might as well keep rittich. Could be the same markstrom for half the price and no risk.

I just pray it isnt 6 years and buyout proof

Depending on dollars, I love this. Finally they get a legitimate starting goalie. But knowing the Flames' luck Markstrom is gonna forget how to play in year 2.
