Weekes: Something happening with Markstrom?

[Eggtimer]

I’m guessing and hoping NJ . I think Fitz has had enough of VV and having the worst combined Sv% in the league .

 

[DJJones]

I don't want to trade him, he's playing fantastic.

Just dumping Wolf into the starters position when Vladar is playing horribly seems questionable. He should get a 20-30 game year first and go from there.

But like, if someone offers a first you take it.

 

[Mike Jones]

It would be weird if they trade him now. Given the term and cap hit left on his contract it wouldn't exactly be your textbook trade deadline deal.

But if he's one of the players to be moved hopefully the Flames get a pile of picks and prospects for him.

[Bobby9]

Canes or Devils?

 

[TheNewEra]

Colorado maybe? Georgiev has been meh this year

 

[frederixx]

He's so going to TO

 

[Eggtimer]

As much as I’d like to see my Devils get him , I’m not sure how his 6 mil would fit moving forward . Plus I can’t see Flames taking VV in return . I am guessing VV would have to be included but I don’t see the Flames wanting him . Nor should they want him .

Don't think it makes too much sense, Leafs are likely going with a Woll/1B tandem going forward

The limited cap space we have will be put towards fixing the defense, which Treliving has mentioned almost every press conference he's given

 

[Forge]

The offer would have to be insane for Calgary to even consider this. Markstrom is proving last year was a one off and has been an absolute stud to anyone with eyes. It’d also be Calgary throwing in the towel on this roster and going full team tank for multiple years, look at the splits on these goalie stats:

Markstrom •2.66 GAA, .910
Vladar •3.42 GAA, .883
Wolf •3.46 GAA, .893

Calgary lets in almost an entire goal extra a game when Markstrom isn’t the starter. We’d also have to take back as functional goalie to do this trade to insulate Wolf and not hinder his development. The return would have to be astronomical for Calgary to consider this, and it’d be the start of a scorched earth fire sale.

I feel like it won't be the devils then. I think the pipeline is kind of soft for them right now. Not sure that they can get into a bidding war

Georgiev is ass so far this year, but 2C is a bigger hole in the lineup.

 

[Amadeus]

No chance we can afford him. Also not a big fan.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Canes have the cap flexibility to make it happen. It would have to be decently cheap cuz that third year with his age goes against their philosophy on goalies. Cheap is relative to other starting goalies so dont @ me that about how Calgary isnt giving him away.

 

[Kahvi]

Hopefully finally trading his ass so Dustin can start 70 games. If this comes to nothing, it's yet another slap in the face to Dustin, who should then really push for a trade out of Calgary

No, let Vladar start most of the games so that Wolf doesn't lose his confidence playing for a soon-to-be lottery team. Give Wolf some easy games, and let Vladar be the tank commander, especially if Tanev and Hanifin are traded.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Kidding? He is like the Flames MVP

 

[Mobiandi]

I hesitate to trade him because he has only 2 years left after this season and it will be nice to have him to mentor Dustin Wolf.

But if a team is desperate, it would hard to pass up a 1st for him

 

[Breakers]

Calgary has been known to not wait till the deadline and risk injury

Smart to do it now.

 

[Iggys Dome]

I’d be surprised if we moved him before the summer, he is a new dad (baby is probably a year old at this point) and he just got married a few weeks ago.

He has a NMC, not sure if he wants to make a move mid season.

Edit: not to mention it’s the dads trip rn, if we see a Markstrom deal it’s probably next week if anything.

 

[LuckyDay]

He was late to practice because he was mugged on the way to catching a cab from UBC.

Oh no, wait. That was you Weekes.

lol pretty funny considering you were the guy that was saying Markstrom was good last year despite his stats. Cherry picking a 5 game sample when the Flames were playing like complete ass. Neglecting the fact that in the past 3 AHL seasons it looks like Dustin Wolf will have the top 3 save percentages league wide in that time period… do you ever get tired of being wrong?

 

[Double Dion]

Toronto would be such an interesting fit, especially if the Flames take back Samsonov, but I thought Conroy didn't want to trade with Treliving?

It's not Conroy. It's rumored Edwards won't let Conroy trade with Treliving. Not sure if it's true.

If there's a time to convince your wife to move it's this week haha. f*** it's cold.

He doesn't ever get tired of being wrong.

Wolf has flaming locks of auburn hair, ivory skin, and eyes if emerald green, his voice is soft like summer rain. He's a pure and beautiful young prince, he's my son. His time is now.

 

[BRobMint]

If he is indeed getting traded, I’ll honestly miss the guy. He’s had his ups and downs in net, and the downs were really, really bad. But you couldn’t deny his passion and his want to win for the club. Best goalie we’ve had since Kipper
