The Calgary Flames proved last night that they are still committed to selling at the trade deadline. However, the team has now confirmed that they are not interested is trading one of their most important players.

Calgary Flames Decide Not To Trade Goaltender Markstrom

Jacob Markstrom has been a player many teams have been targeting this year as there are few quality goalies available. However, the team just revealed today that they are no longer interested in moving him. According to David Pagnotta, the team wants to 'send the right message' to the team.

New Jersey Devils Miss Out On Top Trade target

Markstrom was apparently one of the top targets for the New Jersey Devils. Notably, the Devils have struggled in goal in each of the past two seasons. It has been the biggest limiting factor the team has faced this season by far. They reportedly were the last team to ask the Flames about Markstrom.

⚠️ 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓: The #Flames are reportedly set to hang on to Jacob Markstrom through next Friday's trade deadline, per David Pagnotta and Anthony Di Marco. The #NJDevils circled back on the goaltender, but Calgary has told teams they plan to keep him for the rest of the season and «send the right message to the team.»

Markstrom is 34 years old but has been in prime form this season. He has been a rare consistent bright spot for the Flames. He still has two years left after this one on his contract, each coming with a 6 million dollar cap hit.
