Markstrom

evaluate after next season. two full seasons in the AHL this and next year for wolf should allow him to master that pro level of hockey as a starter

offseason 2024 whoever appears to be the weakest link you either look to trade or buy out

let wolf get a taste down the stretch next year and enter full time fall 2024

I don't think Sutter would ever give a rookie goalie a chance? Especially a smallish one?

From my recollection Kipper was always listed as 6ft1.

Though who knows, as during his NHL tenure, there was more exaggerations about height and weight then. I know in the last 5 years or so, the league clamped down on that for official listings.

Brad Richard's for Mike Smith trade...long time ago

Markstrom - big goalie but plays small, especially when he's flopping around like a dying fish on the ice. Team in front of him has been playing better and Markstrom has seemed to be better. But if the team goes into a bad stretch like they had been earlier this season, you all know what I mean.

Having a surplus of talented goalies is a good problem to have

Time to buy out the guy in Sweden as well...enough is enough.

Ironically some of Sutter's most genius moves were when he acted out of character, like calling Kipper up. So yeah he would,

But he really has to have his back against the wall. Like he did when Kipper was called up.


Markstrom not playing bad enough for Sutter's back to be up against a wall. Nor good enough for the status quo to make sense.

By not doing that doesn't mean they don't have balls, it simply mean they have brain. So whoever doing it doesn't have brain.

That Markstrom guy sure sucks.

Jacob Markstrom is good at hockey.
