Confirmed Trade: [NJD/CGY] Jacob Markstrom for Kevin Bahl, 2025 1st round pick (top 10 protected); Flames retain 31.25%

[Sheppy]

As a Bruins fan, I like this for a potential Ullmark trade.

 

[613Leafer]

That... is a terrible return for the Flames after all that BS

Markstrom really isn't that good of a goalie. His career save % is worse than Reimer's (for example), and the last ~4 years he's generally been mediocre to bad.

Big caphit for two years too - I'm glad the Leafs aren't touching this.

I like Markstrom. He stole a lot of games for CGY and helped them not be bottom 5

 

[Bgav]

Damn, Calgary bent the devils over for an old goalie. crazy

EDIT: not bad after the retention and top 10 protected

 

[Forge]

Wonder if there are conditions on the first

I'm sure there are. It's just a question on how much it's protected

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Better idea of what Ullmark might fetch.

 

[Colin226]

Fitz is basically betting his job that the Devils bounce back with solid goaltending.

Bahl was okay but never played quite to his size.

 

[Donuts]

Good deal for calgary especially if unprotected 1st.

Markstrom aint exactly consistent. Could see a his play go down with age

 

[mkatcherin00]

So, no retention in the end ?

CGY owner is too cheap to do that

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Flames fans deluded themselves on what they were getting for Markstrom. And as is, I think the Devils still overpaid.

 

[S E P H]

Bahl is not a very good defenceman, but he will help the Flames tank/rebuild by giving the opposing team goals.

What?

Yesterday if you said 25 first or Bahl, I'd be listening. If it's both, my eyes might pop out of my head right now.

I swear I was literally reading yesterday that Bahl has a bit of value. IDK why he's being stated as just a dude...

 

[CaptainUgly]

Anyone else accidentally google Kevin Dahl?

 

[Forge]

Sounds like pick is top ten protected?

 

[vtdevils2k]

Good deal for calgary especially if unprotected 1st.

Top 10 protected 2025 pick

 

[I am Bettman]

Markstrom has at most 3 years of quality play left, but most likely just one or two. Overpay because NJ didn’t want to spend on a long term fit goalie.

 

[Bond]

lol DGibbs is somewhere yelling into the sky. Marsktrom without retention was only worth a 2nd on his master goalie list lol

 

[DJJones]

Fantastic return imo. No idea how anyone is complaining about this.

This is perfect for the Flames

 

[Voight]

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

CGY owner is too cheap to do that

True, but this seemed like the point that prevented the deal from happening at the deadline.

Now, Calgary got their way ?

 

[Master P]

Finally

 

[trellaine201]

I think that’s a good deal for Calgary. And especially for a goalie his age etc.

 

[Sheppy]

I don't think this is a bad return for Calgary at all?

 

[TGWL]

2025 1st is practically a 2024 2nd so nobody's right or wrong.

Meh, I think the 2025 draft will surprise people, especially those who need forwards in the first round.
