Quoting: Lunatik
Believe what you want, but the Devils aren't in a favorable position, ever your own star player is calling out the goaltending. Everyone in the hockey world knows y'all are ****ed for goaltending and it's not like there are any good UFAs coming up.
The Devils choices are simple.
1) Keep riding your ****ty goaltending
2) Pay up and fill that need.
The Flames aren't going to throw away their season unless the deal is one they can't say no to. No team is.
If that’s the ridiculous ask I’ll pass on the 34 year old making6 million.
We’ll wait for markstroms value to drop. Calgary is holding an asset that looks pretty now, but likely won’t return much of anything this time next year.
And there’s a LOT more teams selling goalies than buying.
Edmonton went away with Skinners recent play.
Samsonov looking better and Woll about to come back, let alone the fact that they can’t afford Markstrom.
Freddie Andersen is about to come back in Carolina.
With arvidsson coming back the kings have no cap space.
Kent Hughes just went out into the media talking about how hard it is to sell his goalies.
Nashville just for all intents and purposes put Saros out there.
And since our goaltending has been much better lately, we can wait.
Maybe in a few years you can sell him for future considerations like Vegas did with fleury
