Thread: Markstrom
Cory Schneider was 27 when he was traded, and posted a .927, .929, and .937 save percentages the three years before he was traded.
Markstrom is 34 if he is traded this offseason, and has had .892, .905, and .922 save percentages the past three years.
I don't see the comp at all?

Perhaps a better comp would be Marc-Andre Fleury to the Wild
Flower was 36 when he was traded. He had posted .905, .908, and .928 save percentages the three years prior. The return was a conditional second that become a first if Minnesota made the conference finals and Fleury had 4 wins in the first two rounds.

Or Cam Talbot to Ottawa for Filip Gustavvson
Talbot was 34 at the time of the trade and had recorded .911, .915, and .919 save percentages the previous three years. Gustavvson was a recent second round draft pick. I don't know team's prospect pools well enough to give a comparable player, but let's assume it's a second.

The market rate for good, aging goalies seems to be right around a second. Not a top 10 pick or a team's best prospect.

I know people that don't follow NJD won't buy it, but he is a solid young player. Wouldn't be surprised to see him replace Holtz if dealt.

Thread: Realistic Maybe
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Yall need goaltending pretty damn badly. Marky at 34 is still a top 20 goalie in the league. Rn he has some trust issues with management and needs a change of scenery. Say he’s worth a second on his own, throw retention on and he’s valued at a late first. Throw in VAN first and pair that with the fact that NJ doesn’t need the pick, and that trade gets done, no?</div></div>

Markstrom in his age 33 and 34 seasons has been right around .900 save percentage - that would put him in the 30-40 range. Given the history of goalies I'm not sure Markstrom would:
1) Be worth a top ten pick even if he was a top 20 goalie in the league the past two seasons
2) Get any better for his age 35 and 36 seasons.

So why would New Jersey pay the top ten pick now?
