15 seconds in a game on a Thursday night in February against one of the top teams in the NHL while also having the constant chatter around HIM in the middle of the biggest rumor in the league and having to make a decision of saying no, or, leaving his wife and baby and moving across the continent.

Just curious.
Yeah, there are always excuses.

Getting used to a new team - folds
Trade rumors - folds
Baby - folds
Edmonton in the playoffs - folds

Sutter coaching - Vezina candidate

Across the continent, hah. It's a 4.5 hour flight from here, probably closer from Calgary. Let New Jersey or whoever else pay. Paying $6 million on a goalie is not worth it.

The Panthers rolled to the Finals behind a 10 million dollar goalie, so it was worth it for them.

Francis saying he doesn't think Markstrom moves is a guarantee he will.

Indeed. When I'm wrong I will say so.

I should have said 1 goal from then is worth 1.13 nowadays. A 70 goal season now is equivalent to a 62 goal season from 2017.
Show me evidence that spending money on goaltending works. This guy had excuses for 3 years that led to negative GSAE and now he's good in 34 games, and people are smitten. So, trade please. Do you think the next 2 1/3 years are going to go like this?

A bit surprising they haven't done it yet, as far as I'm aware

Okay, well if you can't admit that you are dead wrong on this, how about just acknowledging that you have made this point a million times already, and stop beating the same drum over and over?

I've only posted about 3,000 times and most of them weren't about Markstrom.

I can stop, though. Are you sensitive about the topic?
