slasher72 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 It won't matter if Markstrom is in net. Behind this defense of Siegenthaler, Marino, Bahl, Smith, Nemec, and Luke, he will still get smoked. I wish they'd move Siegenthaler honestly. I don't care if he's cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not make a difference, especially this late in the season. They lose today, Devils have to win 17 of 22 games. It’s over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly why it was malpractice heading into this season with these goalies. It was as clear as day that their D was going to take a step back. But everyone got bamboozled by four months of acceptable play by VV in front of a defense that wasn’t going to be around anymore. Truly mind-boggling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about this year. They will miss the playoffs clearly. But they will still be in goalie hell and need to go buy one. Start now.

slasher72 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Calgary isn't stupid. They're going to fleece the hell out of Fitz. Our first-rounder + Mercer + Holtz + Casey should be their ask. Fitz will be so desperate that he'd probably cave in on that trade. Again, he needs a starting goalie right now to save both his ass and Lindy's ass next season.

If I'm Calgary I would go for it just to see if Fitz buckles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have to pay a hefty price whether it's Swayman or Markstrom or Saros. But it must be paid. Is it a risk? Yes. But look at the risk we took going with Schmid and Vanacek. No playoff gate for our private equity owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitico12 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Markstrom isn't worth a first, let alone Mercer and Holtz. You guys need to relax a bit on this. We need a goalie, yes, but not at the expense of shipping off Mercer, Holtz, and Casey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s put it this way - I don’t think signing Mercer this summer is going to be Fitz’s problem. 3 minutes ago, Mitico12 said: Markstrom isn't worth a first, let alone Mercer and Holtz.

The league has Fitz bent over on this one, and the only way out is a trade, whether for Markström or someone else. There are literally no plausible internal or FA options.

slasher72 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This team is going to see significant changes in order to get a goalie. A lot of promising young talent is going to be headed the other way, and probably our first rounder....the price you pay for being unable to draft and coach a goalie of your own. Rogalski sucks, yet he will keep his job because of Marty. Lindy's shelf life has expired, but he'll probably keep his because of injuries. And our defense won't change much either. Siegs and company will still be back, and will be putrid. The organization is in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
