Markstrom 24-25

Marky costs more than that without retention.

You’ll see in the offseason that he won’t be. There’ll be multiple options in the offseason for teams to go after and Markstrom will be worth less in the summer than he could’ve got at this deadline

Likely to Move:
Saros/Askarov
Ullmark
Markstrom

Other potentials:
Jarry
Gibson
Knight
Georgiev
Kuemper/Lindgren
Varlamov
Vejmelka

Saros will cost more than Markstrom if he comes with an extension. As just a rental he'd be worth as much or a bit less than 2 years of Markstrm. But if Saros is made available it's practically certain some team will pay the price to get him with a nice long extension. Askarov won't be going anywhere, he still has another year left on his entry level contract and will be an RFA then.

Those three are worth more than any of the rest you named. Ulmark is the best of the rest you named but with only 1 more season before he's UFA he'd just be an rental. Would you really want to gamble on him or any of the other cheaper options?

Many Flames fans are convinced there's going to be some kind of bidding war for Markstrom in the summer.

Oh Ik Saros is gonna cost more than Markstrom. My offer for Saros is Holtz, Casey, Schmid, 2025 1st for Saros. The Devils would likely look to have an extension attached to a Markstrom deal
