Ya I heard them say that on 1040 yesterday.

They may have a trade in place already but the team may have said we want him as a future prospect , if he clears waivers he can be included in the deal.

Who knows , we will see in the next 30 days if they have plans for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded.

Markstrom cleared waivers!

Just saw this woooohoooo

Maybe but you get my point that going from "best goalie not in the NHL" to clearing waivers in just a few short years speaks volumes of how his stock has fallen.

Well the Habs will probably have to do the same thing with Tokarski, and I think he will clear. I don't think it's an indictment of Markstrom, just teams not willing to risk having a rookie backup

Tokarski won't clear waivers. Did you see that kid last year?

yea you gotta hold onto him...he's good enough to be a NHL backup right now so send down Budaj

Let him "develop" in the AHL, he had some serious holes in his game from what I saw last year. He's only 24! Let him get some proper coaching.

THIS!

Markstrom in Utica is a nice asset for Canucks, or fallback if Miller/Lack gets hurt. He'll garner interest as injuries occur this fall.
