Honkin Hronek Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Here we go, if the Flames are selling then it won’t be long before we see names like Lindholm, Tanev or Hanifin on the move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 There are quite a few playoff calibre teams that need goaltending upgrades. I can see the appeal of Markstrom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 not surprising. I'm guessing a young C to try to resurrect Hoobie is the ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDM and TOR are probably knocking down the door to get to Marky. Neither team has a lot to offer, but I think TOR might have the edge in terms of tradeable assets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He's had a pretty strong rebound year, but the Flames suck right now. A contender could use him if they need a good starting goalie. A bit old for a long-term investment though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HKSR Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact we have not had to worry about that position for nearly 2 decades. Big kudos and respect for Ian Clark. Thank goodness we kept him. Here's a reminder of what things looked like in 2005-06 (pre-Luongo, Marky, and Demko): Alex Auld - 67 GP Dan Cloutier - 13 GP Mika Noronen - 4 GP Maxime Ouellet - 4 GP Rob Mcvicar - 1 GP 2 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Teams like the Oilers and New Jersey NEED better goaltending. They have the punch to score, but can't keep it out of their own net and need to figure that out if they want any chance of winning a cup. If Calgary can't get into the playoff picture before the deadline I can totally see them moving him along with a assuming a questionable contract for futures. (Along with their other high profile players like Tanev, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Anaheim's probably rubbing their hands waiting for someone to pay for Markstrom, they'll likely get a better haul for Gibson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain insano Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Markstrom to Carolina, that’s my guess, I could see the canes possibly even dangle necas obviously not 1 for 1 but could work for both teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft all the talent you want, but if you don't develop them properly, you're hooped. If Oilers didn't luck out and stumble into 1st OA while McDavid was available, where would they be? Their player development is terrible. Same with the Canucks for years. We just didn't have the fortune of drafting 1st OA and picking a generational talent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed The best way to acquire top end talent and maintain a sustainable competitive window hinges upon being able to not only draft, but properly develop and integrate your own talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as good as the Bertuzzi trade. The almighty Linden trade tree - went on for over 15 years. Thank you, Mike Keenan!

Vancouver was truly known as a goalie graveyard. Now we're a goalie factory, and I really have high hopes that with Foote and Gonchar, we are now gonna be a defenceman factory too. Just imagine how strong the Canucks will be if we constantly produce high quality goalies and defencemen. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
