How are the Oilers going to be able to afford Markstrom on presumably a long term deal at $6 million when they're already paying Koskinen a ton of money?

And isn't it technically illegal for Edmonton to be talking to Markstrom right now?

 

[RandV]

I'm not sure how they can report with such certainty when teams can't talk to or negotiate with player and agents yet.

Trust me behind the scenes there’s way more going on than you might think

 

[BCNate]

Nothing but click bait, or tampering.

It’s Moj. Nuff said.
I’m sure Edmonton and a lot of teams would be interested. Then Moj just runs with it and tries to sensationalize it.

 

[Michoulicious]

Tampering?

I’m sure Edmonton and a lot of trans would be interested. Then Moj just runs with it and tries to sensationalize it.

Elliot Friedman also mentioned oilers

Agents leaking it, clearly

who says the Oilers started the conversastion? His agent made a statement that his client had no interest in Edmonton and Detroit--maybe he sent the oilers a message via the media?

 

[Mark MacCrimmon]

If this happens, Markstrom and Koskinen would be an incredible tandem, but I'd rather we trade Koski to make cap space for another UFA signing.

Yes. He said they could be interested. That’s far different than Moj saying they are hot and heavy on Markstrom.

For sure

 

[mouz135]

They have no clue. This could be borderline tampering

 

[Merrrlin]

I guess we begin the Demko era.

 

[GetFocht]

Markstrom won't end his career in Edmonton.

 

[KCC]

I mean, the reports a week ago were edm had interest in markstrom, Murray and mrazck. One is off the table so it’s not surprising.

 

[Bankerguy]

I"m waiting for Edm fans to come in here saying "Koskinen is as good as Markstrom! why would they do this!? "

 

[bucks_oil]

I guess we begin the Demko era.

We could trade you Koski if you wish... give you a little more support for him and Koski's contract would expire when you re-up Demko.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

For sure

I’m not discounting the rumour. I think if he gets to FA then both Calgary and Edmonton will be in on him. Probably a handful of other teams too.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I honestly think it's a blessing in disguise for Nucks not to sign him... woulda loved to see him stay there but I think Demko and signing a UFA veteran older goalie is the smarter move

 

[Mark MacCrimmon]

I"m waiting for Edm fans to come in here saying "Koskinen is as good as Markstrom! why would they do this!? "

We wouldn't say that based on playoff performance. That's what does it for us

 

[Mickey Marner]

Obviously tampering, but circumstantial evidence isn't enough for a fine.

 

[McNurse]

I"m waiting for Edm fans to come in here saying "Koskinen is as good as Markstrom! why would they do this!? "

Who said that

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah talking about major tampering here, Sekeres said that Markstrom wouldn't sign with either Detroit or Edmonton. I smell a rat.
