Holtz for Markstrom Retained

No one is saying it's not a fair offer, it is, there's just not incentive for Calgary to do it. They have a blue chip prospect in net and a goalie to shelter the hell out of him if they so choose. Wolf has proven nothing at the NHL level yet and until he does the Flames should not throw him into the fire with Vladar. Unless the pros seriously outweigh the cons Calgary has no reason to make the deal.

This is absurd! That’s a massive overpay for an aging goalie who is having one last good season.

I think CGY is already past that point in terms of their thinking. James Nichols already reported that they approached Markstrom about waiving his NTC and he approved. If there wasn't a retention issue, this deal would be done already. CGY seems to be comfortable parting with Markstrom and running with Wolf/Vanecek/Vladar for the next few years. Where are you guys really going these next few years? Let's be honest

Oh I agree. Unfortunately, Fitzy didn't make our move in the summer and now he's gonna overpay to stabilize our net for the next few years

Overpay, NJD declines
