Kings kicking Devil Azz... maybe that rumor of Markstrom/Hanifin may come into play this week. NJ may get desperate and over pay?

There's almost no chance the Devils make a move for this year unless the first round pick the Flames will want is deferred if they miss the playoffs or don't win a round. That pick is almost a top ten pick right now and it's another decent draft class. And then throw in Holtz and/or Mercer? It doesn't make a lot of sense for a team whose core is young and won't have their best defenceman for the playoffs. Plus, after today, the Devils are less likely to make the playoffs than the Flames are. They're too far back.

It makes way more sense for the Devils to sell Toffoli now and figure out a goalie in the summer.

Maybe so, but why keep Markstrom when his value is so high? If we wait til next year with the loss of Tanev and Hanifin, he may not look as good. Now’s the time to trade him and maximize his return. This team is not a playoff team as of right now, adding some speed and enthusiasm to the lineup never hurt. Flames still have enough veteran leadership to balance that out.
Sell, sell, sell.

The Flames aren't willing to rebuild and are only trading players they're forced too. Look at the weird Lindholm trade that is nonsensical if the plan is to rebuild and focus on the future. The Sharangovich trade was made with a similar mindset.

Sharangovich and Kuzmenko are making sure the Flames remain mediocre. It's really hard to get to the top without being bad first. Things are looking way better for the Blackhawks and Sharks than they are for the Flames.

Sell Markstrom, sell Weegar, sell Kadri, sell Sharangovich. Then we'll be getting somewhere.

Jersey is pretty much out of the playoff picture. I don't see them going after Markstrom this year.

I understand Markstrom's frustration about how things went down, but it's business. He should keep his trap shut.

Is Hanafin saying he prefers to go to Tampa or Florida a real thing, or is it just rumors?

Apparently Tampa then Boaston, now linked to Florida as well. I saw a return from Florida it included no 1st’s couple 2nds and a couple prospects. If Lindell’s not part of it, I would rather not trade with them.

Friedman has Rooney to the Rangers, doesn’t say for what, 4th? Prospect?
Call up Schwindt.
Sorry should have said rumour.
