NHL Rumors: Jacob Markstrom is a Excellent Match for the Devils
Steve Kouleas: “Quantity two in your checklist is Jacob Markstrom. You’ve gotten 4 groups within the combine, Toronto and Ottawa, that are pushing exhausting. You reported final week Carolina and New Jersey. Is New Jersey nonetheless the front-runner? In that case, why have they not pulled the set off on this commerce?”
Dave Pagnotta: “It is a humorous time of 12 months the place, you realize, just below two weeks earlier than the is about two weeks after the (Scouting) Mix will get going. When all people will get all excited across the Mix, all people’s collectively. Let’s speak about this. Let’s speak about that. Maintain the dialog going within the subsequent few days after, after which let’s see who calls first who’s gonna blink. Who’s gonna choose up the cellphone, who’s extra determined?
So now we’re on this low interval, and I feel Calgary and New Jersey are on this little rooster sport of who’s going to name first. Who’s going to budge first? I nonetheless assume there’s a pathway between Calgary and New Jersey to get Markstrom there. He desires to go there. He’s keen to waive. He’s made that completely clear.
They’ve had parameters of a deal already in place earlier. It’s a matter of simply attending to that end line. They increase on it. Possibly that’s a part of it. Jersey’s on the lookout for an offensive piece and Andrew Manigiapane’s title is on the market as properly.

He’s additionally on our commerce watch checklist. That’s a possible for one thing considerably bigger, and perhaps that’s the place the tenth total picks comes into play from the Jersey perspective however it is a crew that Alex Holtz was a participant that they talked about in the course of the season. Possibly they return to that. Calgary doesn’t need a goalie again.
They’re gonna roll with (Dan) Vladar and (Dustin) Wolf. I nonetheless assume there’s, and my intestine and my major guess is that he results in New Jersey. Ottawa has been pushing however Ottawa desires to maneuver Joonas Korpisalo. That’s not a match for Calgary. And I don’t know, I don’t know this 100% but, however I haven’t gotten the sense that Jacob Markstrom is as keen to waive for Ottawa as he’s for New Jersey. In order that’s the opposite main issue.”
