And so ends the Ballas of Trevor Linden

Traded February 6, 1998, the trade had direct lineage until yesterday when Markstrom left!

Whatever happens past year 3 or 4, it really doesn't matter.

Or you could say, if it's rebuild time then on years 5 and 6, you'd want a goalie who is underperforming for higher draft picks and you wouldn't mind the overpay if you struggle to hit the cap floor anyway. Of course the org would never say this sort of thing out loud. (This line of thinking is probably exaggeration though; it's simply unknown to everyone now how he'll play then. Rinne played very well at 36.)

The 25-26 season is markstrom’s 6th season on this deal. He will be 36 when it ends. For comparison sake take a look at the 17-18 season numbers for king henrik, rinne, and smith finished that season turning 36.

that’s a fair comparisons to give you an idea of what his performance would be.

Very expensive, but you get what you pay for. Calgary has been in goalie hell for a while, probably since Kiprusoff left. The Flames just stomped that problem. Even if they have holes still, this is the right way to start building. Net, out
