As the Red Wings are now preparing to enter negotiations with potential UFA's, management has to make a decison on it's goaltending future. With Lundqvist ready for play next season one of Kolzig or Markkanen will not be returning and if Markkanen is resigned he cannot, as per league rules, be dealt until well after next years all-star break.
Kolzig is a 79OV currently and given his revitalised play this season should project out about the same for next. That said trading Kolzig would pretty much kill my season so I won't trade him for nothing. - Therefore I expect to see trade offers from my conference rivals
The younger and much cheaper Markkanen could also be dealt should the right offer be presented.
The only stipulation in offers is that I cannot take offers where the number of pieces offered (players/prospects/picks) is greater than being traded away. As I am retooling, age will be a key consideration in the assessment of any deal offered.
