<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>-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</div></div>

This is precisely why NJ has 3 AHL goalies and will continue to. Discredit the assets your teams needs all you want, doesn't change the market price.
