We'll see!
Murray might say no again.
It's believed the Devils and Flames have agreed on a deal that sends Markstrom to the Devils.

@ProducerDrew made a tweet about it too (unsure if he's pigging backing off Travis Yost though).

Frank Seravalli is tweeting that it is happening but he's working on the details.

Somewhere Bettman is fuming that this is happening during the Stanley Cup Finals!!
But who cares - and serves Bettman right for dragging the Finals out like they do in basketball!
I am excited to see what the return Calgary is getting.

Wait... what?
Wasn't there an Allen(NJ) vs Markstrom(NJ) thread?
I thought these guys were samesies...
LOL.
(Sorry, sorry - didn't want to stir that pot... but this is pretty fun good.)
Markstrom >> Allen
Solid move for both teams.
I'm excited to see CGY get ready to move forward with faith in Wolf.
(hoooooowl)
FWIW - Calgary fans - I have a sneaking suspicion that Travis Konecny is going to sign his next long-term contract with Calgary.
Summer 2025.
So you can look forward to that.
Don't ask me why - yet... unless I love you.
Im going to take a shot in the dark and assume Alexander Holtz is part of the deal.

NRD has said they don't think the 10th overall pick is involved.
Not all parties have been notified about the trade yet it seems too. Makes me think a player is international who's getting moved from NJD to Calgary.

Huge upgrade for NJD. Kind of makes someone like Akira Schmid or Nik Daws value go down a tad for at least another season.

I guess I was wrong. No Holtz. Calgary loading up on young Dmen.Markstrom to the Devils. In return Calgary gets 23 year old Dman Kevin Bahl and a 1st round pick in 2025

Great deal for Jersey. Glad to see no Holtz or Mercer or Casey or 10th and you know one of those would've been required for Saros
Future 1st makes more sense.
NJD certainly "sees" themselves as an East playoff team in 2025 - especially going all-in with Markstrom.
Assuming they have faith they make playoffs (17-24 overall pick)....
Win a round (25-28 overall pick).
And for two years of Markstrom at $6m... that... and Bahl - probably fair return.
[Side discussion - I actually like Kevin Bahl - nice player... and obv NJ is stocked with upcoming D, so they clear a space, and CGY gets a guy with D4/D5 potential, IMO.]
31.25% retention on the Markstrom contract. ($1.875m)
So Markstrom is a $4.125m goalie on NJD.
Markstrom is due $2.5m on July 1st (in 2024 and 2025), so Calgary avoids the signing bonus payment by getting it done before July 1st.
---EDIT---
Retention number updated.

This is the kind of trade that I was reading about in McLean's book Draft Day.
New Jersey thinks their 2025 1st round pick is not going to be very valuable because they think this trade puts them back into a top contender status.
So New Jersey values this trade in the 26-32 range.
Oh... but the trades get exciting if New Jersey doesn't produce and this draft pick becomes a top 10 pick which is where their 2024 pick is.
