We’re pretty happy with Markstrom. He’s kept us in the playoff conversation just on his own. So if you think Markstrom is a downgrade to what you have then I’m sure you’re right. lol. The NHL insiders have no idea what they’re talking about. Or Craig Button and Marty Biron. What would they know about goalies in the NHL. Right. You know you’re doing.
I watched the biron clip. He said he thinks Markstrom would be a perfect fit and he thinks NJD Should go after him.
Button again said he thinks NJD should.
I’m still waiting on these sources saying NJD came back to the table and upped their offer?
The chain of events as I’ve interpreted them are
NJD had a deal on the table. Calgary tried to shop it around to other teams.
NJD walked away from the table.
NJD got excellent goaltending since
Discussions have resumed.
In that time Saros has become more available and Kent Hughes has publicly stated how hard it is to find a buyer on a goalie
Again if you can provide sources on any evidence to the contrary of these I’m happy to hear it.
But based on that, seems only logical that it would have been conroy coming back to the table after being unable to find other suitors.
