Markstrom

Certainly a good idea.

I’d like it a bit more without Casey

I think that those are 2 fairly good deals based on Calgary not retaining and getting a first plus a good prospect. Flames will likely ask for more with Markstrom's term, or they would object to taking on Vanecek based on Wolfs development. The Toffoli deal seems good for both sides, and NJ could probably squeeze a bit more out of Edmonton for retaining.

I think NJ may have missed the boat on Markstrom. Flames are only 3 points out of a wildcard spot and are chasing a faltering Kings team, and Kuzmenko has reignited there $10.5 million dollar man. They'd have to fall off in a big way to be willing to sell at the TDL.

Not true in the slightest. They know they’re building for the future at this point. Tanev and Hanifin are almost certain to be moved and a deal like this for Markstrom is one they likely take

Flames won’t let Hanifin or Tanev walk to Free Agency for nothing, so will move them if they don’t extend, but they’d either want replacements coming back or will make Trades elsewhere to remain competitive

Moving Markstrom while his value is high or for an offer they can’t refuse isn’t off the table, but I do believe this is more of an off-season move now


We could include Tanev as well if an additional Piece like Bahl + Miller were added by NJD, but only as a package, since we’d get more for Tanev otherwise

Quinn Hughes wants Tanev back in VAN bad and he’d be the ideal partner for Luke
