The Calgary Flames have played solid hockey as of late, but the expectation is that they will sell come the March 8th trade deadline, and it appears their star goaltender may be available.

Calgary selling high on former Vezina Finalist Jacob Markstrom?

While he's not a member of the teams upcoming UFA list that includes Chris Tanev, Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin, if the Flames look to sell, moving Markstrom makes sense.

Beyond that, the team have two-time AHL Goaltender of the Year Dustin Wolf waiting in the wings, and if they want to indeed look to the future, Markstrom becomes a very strong trade chip.

Two teams reach out to Calgary about Jacob Markstrom

While David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period couldn't confirm who the two teams were, it has been revealed that several contenders reached out to Calgary to gauge potential interest in a Markstrom trade.

«To date, [GM Craig] Conroy has not approached Markstrom or his agent Pat Morris about the possibility of waiving his NMC. I'm told that will only happen if the Flames receive an offer they deem acceptable. There is belief out there that Markstrom would consider a trade to a contender, but that has not been confirmed on my end," Pagnotta wrote later on his website.

Markstrom is reportedly open to the idea of a trade to a contending team, as he would need to waive his NMC to make a deal happen, but with New Jersey as one team that's constantly been linked to Calgary, there's a great chance that one team makes the Flames an offer they can't refuse.
