Thread: New Jersey Devils
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>Well, that's not what was listed. Even if that was on the table, I wouldn't give up any of the other parts with it.

Markstrom probably only ranks ahead of Gibson and Elvis for goalies I'd want. I'd rather Jarry over Markstrom. A goalie turning 35 is not a piece I'd spend a 1st on.</div></div>

Jarry? You mean the albatross goalie who's so bad Nedeljkovic has started the last 13 games over when the team is desperately fighting for the last wildcard spot? The one signed for 5.4 mil for the next 4 years and is so unplayable that he's being completely benched in the most important stretch of the teams season? That Tristan Jarry?

I can understand not wanting Markstrom at his age and price tag but my goodness you couldn't have picked a worse example and i'm really starting to think you guys are just gonna end up going into next season with Allen and Kahkonen hoping and praying for the best.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>I was obviously making a comparison.
But let's play- show me what you actually think Saros would go for in the summer in the last yr of his deal with his replacement definitely getting more starts.
Before yiu say Nemec, Mercer and our 24 1st or somergubg wacky, confirm ANYTHING like that has every been done before.
You'll probably find our Cory Schneider for 9thOA that became Horvat</div></div>

Lets ignore all that first of all are they even willing to trade him?

Look at Nashvilles history, they aren’t a weak team by any means and could easily load up in the offseason and make another run, you really think they’d trust a rookie goalie with starts on a competitive team?

No matter how great Askarov is, think about the fact that Saros backed up Rinne for years so why in the world would they be willing to trade away one of the best starters in the league?

The difference between all these goalies is the level of competitiveness of the teams, Boston and Nashville are both contending while the Flames aren’t which is why Markstrom is even being talked about.

I’d be beyond surprised if Saros isn’t resigned and ends up staying in Nashville so they absolutely wouldn’t trade him unless it was a wacky offer like you said.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Just want you to clarify that you believe Rasmus Andersson and Mackenzie weegar, who are apparently worth 4 combined 1sts to flames fans, cannot hold a candle to a pair of 20 year old rookies?

Brendan Smith and Kevin bahl are quite literally both terrorists.

Siegs and Marino also missed a significant portion of time nursing injuries post deadline to be replaced with Nick Desimone and Santeri Hatakka.

Also that you believe that the Calgary flames current defense is worse than the San Jose Sharks defense? Because if Markstrom can’t perform with that defense, I think I’d prefer Kaapo Kahkonen</div></div>

Dang I didn’t know that a competent NHL defence core is only made up of 2 players wow 😱

It is funny how you completely ignore the fact that we traded away 4 solid NHL defenders and replaced them with a bunch of waiver adds and fliers on a team that clearly gave up post tdl so using his save percentage as an indictment against him is stupid.

Not to mention that a top 3 goalie all time and the greatest player in your franchises history was the one pushing hard for Markstrom I’m fairly sure he would know better than you on this one.
