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

[SEALBound]

I am actually quite happy for New Jersey. This bolsters they already likeable lineup in a big way.

The Hughes Brothers for Markstrom

Hey…good for Travis Yost. Caught everyone who actually breaks stuff napping

 

[Jared Dunn]

You're wrong. It'll be a 1st and prospect. I guarantee it. Just not certain it's Holtz or Casey, but I guaranty it'll be a 1st and prospect and my guess is it's Casey or Holtz.

Yeah I don't think there's any chance he returns that level of prospect unless that's the only piece and he's retained 50%. Maybe like Nolan Foote lol

 

[Gil Gunderson]

If the 10th ov is included it’s a coup for Connie. I still don’t think he’s worth anywhere near that however.

That would be a fileable offence for NJ.

Thank you!

I apologize in advance for some of our crazy brethren and some of us who aren't reading the room correctly and pushing the sarcasm too hard.

Allen + 2024 3rd + 2025 2nd is my guess.

I seriously doubt Allen is involved, he has a NTC and it took EVERYTHING to convince him to go to NJ.

I think the trade has to be filed regardless of the return.

 

[Jared Dunn]

I think it will be give or take 10th Overall for Markstrom @50% + 28th OA

Only 7 teams though, right?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Hell yes. Fun time of year at the draft and free agency. Open the flood gates!!

 

[Double Dion]

Ottawa is such a terrible organization. Continuously miss on everything. It's the only Canadian team run worse than my Flames.

My point is that NJ was on that list apparently and they really had to convince him to go there. Dumping him months later would be strange.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Is Markstrom worth more than Schneider was back in the day?

Doesn't Markstrom have an NMC?

Ullmark is still out there.

 

[newsportsfan123]

If Markstrom is worth the 10th OA pick then Ullmark is worth a 1st OA pick.

Yes, lets ignore the fact that Markstrom has a nmc and probably wouldn't waive to Ottawa.

Maybe, but it's not really "dumping him". It's upgrading him.

That’s just what the speculation was. Personally I don’t thing it’s logical but we’ll see shortly

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lmao whatever you say bud.

Markstrom is 34, has only 2 years left on his deal and is coming off a season of a .905 save%. There is a 0% chance he's bringing back anything close to what you're saying.

Markstrom would have brought back that kind of return 2 years ago, not today.

This post is going to age like milk.

 

[Double Dion]

No, that draft was better and he's not getting 10OA unless other pieces are involved.

 

[DJJones]

f*** I hate waiting. Somewhere between their first straight up to like a 3rd and a nobody prospect.

That's the range I have it narrowed down to.

Ulmark is a bad fit for Ottawa. They give up too many high dangers. They'd be better off with Saros or Markstrom.
