The New Jersey Devils have FINALLY landed Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom in a trade!
This has been rumored to go down all the way back to last season.
At last, MARKY will be joining the NJ Devils!
Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald needs to be applauded for this one.
Since this video was recorded it has been announced that the Calgary Flames are retaining 30% of Markstrom’s salary. WOW!
Was this a good deal for the New Jersey Devils?!?
Is Tom Fitzgerald planning to have an epic Summer?!?
I discuss it all in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

What do we get for our #10?!
LETS GO DEVILS
We need two dmam badly.. we have zero size on the blue lne would love to trade seigs
As a Flames fan , I appreciate you acknowledging how difficult it’s been for us losing so many players over the past couple years. It’s been tough. I’m glad Marky is going to the Devils. He’s a quality person and player. With Wolf in our system , this loss hurts a little less … as long as Wolf keeps developing (hopefully) into a star in the league. And happy to add a big , young defenseman in Bahl. With our decimated blue line , he’ll definitely get a golden opportunity for lots of ice time here. Hope Marky is one of the pieces that takes the Devils to the promised land.
And calgary retained 30% salary
Zadorov please!
I actually still hold out hope for HOLTZ to rise up and become that player, ahead of ever dealing him.
That said, this is a deal I can def live with. They get a first and Bahl for an older goalie. It’s not a bad deal for them too, tbh.
Glad to see Markstrom is officially a Devil….now its time to #BringBradytoNJ…
Outstanding!! Was getting a little nervous with all that chatter out there
Had to get Markstrom major upgrade-Losing K Bahl hurts
WE STILL NEED SIZE EVERYWERE !!!
I really hope they still trade this years 10 for a good player..they need a top d mam and top 6 foward
Ace wat u thibk it would take to trade a seigs or marino attach a pick to them?
Sad to see Bahl go but glad to see Markstrom come in. Good for both sides
I love your channel and I agree with you often. I just can't get excited about Markstrom. He was the last name on my wish list. We shall see. Let's go Devils!
Use the top ten pick for best goalie in draft or trade down for him
Raising a Scotch to Fitz. Now if by some miracle we get Brady, OMG
Nice deal. Minimum damage.
Man, you just unlocked the MOGN achievement in my book. "Messenger of Good News".🔴⚫️
We don't need ELITE goaltending, we just need COMPETENT goaltending!!!
Well done, Fitzy. Can't wait till the draft!
Let's hope that 1st is #32.
What a perfect Juneteenth present!!!!!! HAPPY JUNETEENTH TO YOU
Woooooo! I really like the trade. LGD 😈
YESS LETS GO WELCOME TO NEW JERSEY Markstrom
I think this deal works out for both teams. Hopefully, Fitz signs Zadorov in free agency!
The summer of Fitz! Give us Dillon, Trenin, plus another dman & top 6 winger!
Markstrom Kahkonen is the better pairing than Allen whyyy did we need to take Allen 2 old jakes in net
Wrecking Bahl 😢 too bad we couldn’t dump the wusses instead, but that would’ve required the people on the other side of the deal to be idiots
We need a big dman or two do some hitting. It wasn’t Bahl, but we really need to upgrade and need Hamilton back.
Start selling these hoodies! 🎉
As a Flames Fan
Good Luck Marky
Thanks for Everything
I am one of those guys who is into stockpiling picks and building team identity from within; fortunately, the Devils hardly gave away the store.
The thing that scares me (and I know you saw this as well), is the defensive core. Not even Corey Schneider in his prime could have reached a 90% save percentage with what I saw last year: two opposition forwards, routinely, game after game standing alone, jamming loose pucks in the crease, while guys in Devils sweaters were behind the said forwards.
So, on paper we have an upgrade in goal; if there aren’t changes on the backline in personnel or philosophy, Markstrum’s numbers WILL go down.
Do you think Fitzgerald will make any other moves on the backline, and who would you like to see moved?
Thanks. Great show and the great est guitar tones known to man.
Yo Ace.. I’m excited. They are saving the 10th overall for Brady.
#BringBradyToNJ
As a Flames fan. I don't mind the traded. This finally happened. As for the the for what Flames get, I like the young defenceman. I don't know much for Bahl, but it sound like he is going to be guy. Can't wait to see what he can do with the Flames. As for the 1st round 2025, at least we get a 1 round. Now I heard lots of this year 10 picked, but I feel that it would be hard to get. NJ did a really good job on this traded. First keep all the players that have been rumored and keep the 10 picked. They only way this would have happeened it that that Markstrom had a NTC and he could tell where he want to go. So that is where he can get Flames hand tied. That makes NJ get the deal they want. So I am not anary for our GM. Now you had said he played games. But having a NTC player you can't do much on that.
AYYYYYYYE LETS GOOOO
Big move by the devils. Fitzgerald getting it done? 🤔
We get a good goalie and you still have people miserable AF! LGD! Super hyped for next season.
not gonna lie the devils are looking like one hell of a scary team. great coach, great forwards, great goalie. only downlfall is we are still a soft team but lets see if they boys get tough
