    Default Markstrom granted leave of absence

    From Rotoworld:

    Jacob Markstrom has been granted a leave of absence for a personal matter.
    Markstrom is expected to rejoin the team on the road this weekend. "Respectfully, we will not offer any further comment," said Canucks GM Jim Benning in a statement. Vancouver has called up Zane McIntyre from the minors.

    I wonder if his leave is going back to Sweden or just Vancouver, hopefully everything works out as well as it can be for him.

    He has been great. I gambled on him in two leagues by drafting him earlier than he really should have gone and it paid off so far. I snatched up Demko in one of those leagues, golden opportunity for him.

    just scooped Demko too, if nothing else he will provide a few starts this week along with a good share of upside

    By the sound of it, Markstrom will miss at most two games. Demko was getting one of the next 3 starts anyway.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I also kind of reached on him. To be honest I had him ranked higher than a lot of more established goalies. I don't think people realize that this guy literally almost willed this team into the playoffs last year, and they only got better over the offseason.

    Hope all is okay with him and his family.
