-Markstrom has a very expensive contract, that lowers his value
-Markstrom is 34 years old, that lowers his value (goalies rarely perform well into their mid-late 30s
-Markstrom has a full NMC, that lowers his value
-Markstrom is a goaltender, that is the least valuable trade asset in hockey
-Markstrom has been historically inconsistent. He was a big reason Calgary missed the playoffs both last year and his first year in Calgary.

I am willing to take the monetary risk that he is the exception who plays well into his mid 30s. But I will not give up significant assets to do so.


Or, with significant retention, significant assets will come.

You go ahead and keep Markstrom. Call me in 3 years and see if he’s lived up to the contract

Thread: trade
To be honest with ya, I'm not sure, but.. a third 1st round pick for 2024, which could be mid-round if the Devils don't get their act together (sure, not the best draft ever but doesn't mean it is the worst draft ever), a second 2nd round pick for 2025, Schmid to come in and grow his game with the Wranglers while Wolf and Vladar split time in Calgary. Vladar won't last forever in Calgary, and if Schmid can become something of a solid backup, then a future tandem of Wolf and Schmid could be alright..

Casey is having an amazing year with University of Michigan, and would add another right shot defenceman to Calgary's pool. Weegar, if he stays the length of his contract, can always play the left side, and Andersson could be a major trade chip within the next couple of seasons to bring in even more pieces for the "re-tool" .. Brzustewicz and Casey as the future of Calgary's right D could be pretty sweet. Fill out the left side with bigger, more defensive minded guys (plus Poirier).

Is it enough, given the market set with the Lindholm trade? I don't know, probably not, but I at least like the pieces Calgary gets in this one.
