Not sure why people are undervaluing him so much especially this year.
This year is the best I’ve seen him play since he got here.

I hope Conroy texts Fitzgerald with a clock emoji after every loss.

What small throw in can the Devils actually want? Gilbert and Rooney? Done! A prospect? Take Jurmo.

Islanders just tied Devils in the standings after tonight. They have to move on Markstrom soon. Conroy can just sit back until then.

I mean, maybe, but honestly, that's the most reasonable deal I could see for both sides. It's shrewd, yet fair.

It ain't fantasy if it makes sense.

It feels like something could happen at anytime now and that’s sorta the flames MO too. Really hoping for a Markstrom trade because it would feel like a bonus towards the direction we’ve been hoping for and I think will help expedite the overhaul. We’ll obviously know sooner than later here but I really am excited to see what the return ends up being if Conroy does find a suitable deal in his mind and Markstrom ok’s it. At any rate I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a trade deadline in quite some time.

Markstrom moving for a good return is amazing. Not something I thought possible in September and now I see it also being the best way to climb the reverse standings.

We don’t play tomorrow. Perfect time to make the deal tonight or for tomorrow morning.

Imagine we end up with 4-5 first round picks this draft, and we move up to 1st to snag Celebrini.

5 first round picks for 1st overall, who says no?

It does depend on who wins the lottery. Teams like Anaheim and Columbus already got Carlsson and Fantilli last year, maybe they would be down. Anyone else and it will be harder for sure

Assuming we get other assets in addition to the 1sts, I think we could round out well with other pieces. Very rarely would we get a chance to move up like this because when else could we have this many 1st rounders?

Am I crazy to think this is possible lol

If you get 5 1st round picks, maybe just draft 5 1st round players and have an unreal prospect pool.

That’s exactly what we should say to whoever wins the lottery this year

I hope Fitzgerald sends the same emoji back.

Neither team has to make a deal here, it's not like Fitz is bidding against anyone.

The Devils would have lost tonight with Brodeur in net.

Is your sense that the Markstrom trade is still happening?

I think it hurts flames more in terms of leverage as runway runs out. Unless devils looking towards next season in which case why not wait till off season instead of paying tdl premium
