after this series not sure if markstrom would fetch that
Where do you think Gaudreau would go? To a cup favorite, or some playoff contender he'd be a standout forward? Sparse rumors from the recent years is that Columbus has been interested, but don't think he would want to come live here, unless he's starting a family lol

I’m guessing Devils or Flyers. And Markstrom is great when he isn’t playing the Oilers.

Markstrom has an NMC he has full say if he ever leaves.

If you trade Markstrom and let Gaudreau leave, Tkachuk isn't signing long-term. This team isn't very good. They'd easily miss the playoffs and management would all be fired.

Well get ready for Johnny to leave because that’s the reality of the situation. And Markstrom can’t play against our biggest rival which makes him worthless to us.

Freddy Andersen syndrome

Series isn't over yet. It's not looking good, but things can change fast in the playoffs. Coming back from a 3-1 deficit isn't unheard of.

Ya I just can’t share your optimism.

Not really optimism, it's just reality. They just have to win a game and go from there.

Wouldn't Jersey be a lot better just to sign a UFA goalie and they can keep all those young assets. Now if you want. to "gift" Markstrom to the Devils they will take it, and then you have 6m to sign another goalie.

Well that sure was better

They need real urgency to start the third. Just gotta focus on winning a period and then go from there

The sky is falling crew is just so strange... Markstrom has had his worst three game stretch of the last two years against a guy that is playing absolutely cheat code levels with the Calgary D waaaayy over compensating and getting out skilled. Vasilevskiy gets swept by Columbus, they should have moved on from him at that point right?? Give yourself a tug, realize that the only sting coming from this series is that of an incessant fan base up North who takes all this way too seriously and move along. If Calgary lost in the second round to St Louis no one would bat an eye.
