In the last few minutes, analyst Kevin Weekes made a rather intriguing post about Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom, which quickly circulated on social media. He posted a photo of the veteran with an eye emoji, implying that a trade could happen at any moment.
It's worth noting that Kevin Weekes is potentially one of the NHL insiders with the best sources, often being the first to announce a trade. This will definitely be a story to keep a close eye on in the coming days.
Increasingly mentioned in trade rumors recently, everything seems to indicate that the Swedish goalie could be joining a new team soon. Several teams, such as the Devils, the Oilers, the Hurricanes, and the Sabres, are in search of goaltending reinforcements and would certainly welcome Markstrom with open arms.
Here is the post in question:
So, don't be surprised if the goaltender is traded in the very near future.
33-year-old Jacob Markstrom, who earns a salary of six million dollars until 2026 and is recognized as one of the top ten goalies in the NHL, stands 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs nearly 210 pounds. This season, he has compiled a record of 12 wins, 11 losses, and one overtime defeat, registering a goals-against average of 2.65 and a save percentage of 0.910.
Certainly, it will be very interesting to see what demands Calgary Flames General Manager Craig Conroy will make.
