You can ask team Sweden too
I brought Markstrom into the discussion as an example of the Flames paying him into his mid-30's. His performance is irrelevant to the discussion. Why do you have to go to such extents to prop up the Flames? Sometimes it feels like you are on the Flames payroll or something.

Right now, the worry is the acceptance just of the qualifying offer, with no extra years or extension; a hefty contract that may be hard to deal for any real value…and then he walks for nothing.
There will be no offer sheet.
Flames have to qualify him, he accepts it, goes to UFA after that.

Pretty much. I see this as Petterson leaving the door open for him to be able to leave ASAP if he chooses, just like Tkachuk will have that option. It severely decreases the player's trade value as there is limited player control. The player has all the leverage next negotiation as well and likely gets way overpaid.

I said Markstrom was the best goalie in the NHL his last season in Vancouver before he was with the Flames so this isn't a homer thing. You said he wasn't elite so performance is absolutely relevant.

Guys like you always do a drive by to bash Flames players though

Markstrom was the top goalie FA, he contract is actually pretty reasonable considering. He turned down a higher annual salary elsewhere by all accounts.

Plus, he's missing training camp too, so he'll probably get off to a bad start.

It seems that many players "miss" training camp, whether they are there or not.

I seem to remember someone saying that the Flames could offer him arbitration instead of the QO?

Yes, the team can file for what they call "cut down" arbitration without giving a QO. With that, they can request a reduced arbitration award down to 85% of the player's QO ($7.65 million, in Tkachuk's case).

Doing so would almost-certainly do permanent damage to the relationship between the team and player.

It is similar, and probably stems from the same cap issues.

Really smart to leak a higher number like that... well played.

Markstrom didn’t have a bad year.

He had a rough return from injury when the entire team was awful.

His GAA was his best in 5 years.

4th best quality start % (0.535) of his career.

Career-high 3 shutouts in a short season.

Lots of things didn’t go right for the whole team. Markstrom wasn’t perfect.

But he didn’t have a “bad year”.

I meant below his potential...I bet his numbers are ridiculously good this season.

This is the most expensive bridge deal in league history, I don't think its a steal...IF Pettersson scores 80+ and stays healthy its a good deal
