[Rumour] Friedman: Devils and Flames have had legit discussions about Markstrom

[Hackey]

Markstrom probably played because Huska wants to win and noone told him he had to sit him.

Something is holding up a trade and I highly doubt it's an outdoor game. That makes no sense.

Wonder if the deal was including Hanifin and Hanifin opted out?

Interesting, did not know that. Hey, anything is possible.

Yeah....Fitzgerald isn't meeting Conroys ask.

Nice to see the Devils winning tonight. I think they need to stay in the race for this trade to happen for Markstrom.

Mercer 9:42
Holtz 4:50

Protecting the assets!!

[YourMother]

It could be a coincidence but Mercer has had his least amount of ice time this season over the last 2 games.

Winning makes them less likely to feel like they have to overpay.

As a rental, he doesn’t have that option

Losing makes them less likely to give up a bunch of futures during a lost season.

Devils need a proven goaltender. Whether that be Markstrom, Gibson, Saros, or Fleury, they need a guy that can carry the mail. Devils get a good goaltender and they could be a dark horse out east.

Doesn’t he have a 10 team NTC? Could be wrong

He submitted a 8 team No trade list. So Conroy knows which teams he can’t trade him to

The Devils have a window to win as long as Jack Hughes is on the roster with that contract. They'd be fools not to pay up for a goalie like Markstrom

Hishier, Hughes and Bratt all under 8M per season for this and three more years. Definition of a window.

[TheIronMaiden]

I don't hâte the Flames keeping Markstrom, but it feels like the van has been opened. Hard to turn around after the media circus.

[InternationalVillager]

Some people in here are having a meltdown for no reason.

[Flamesfan05]

There is no need for Markstrom on this team

If the rumors were true and Markstrom is still here after the TDL, it’s a total failure.
I don’t see his value getting higher moving forward after the sell off

There was no trade

Not being directed as an insult but is there now rumours out there that there was never one on the table? What’s the latest (I’m lost)?
