The price would be really high for Calgary Flames to even approach Jacob Markstrom

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on goaltender Jacob Markstrom and his no-movement clause.

“It’s the mentor trip for the Flames and his brother is on the trip with him so they do not want to talk about it, Calgary doesn’t, about any of the rumors flying around Markstrom.

Here’s what I can tell you though. Number one, I don’t believe they’ve gone to him with anything, any possibility of what could happen. Number two, he has a no-move clause. And as the birthday boy Kelly Hrudy always argues, no one with a no-move clause should be even asked if they can have it moved or be traded.

And I, from what I understand Calgary has a very high bar here in terms of they’re not going to bother Markstrom with just anything. It would have to be something massive for them or somewhere they absolutely believe Markstrom would want to go before they would even consider going to him. So I think that’s where things stand with Markstrom and the Flames and anything right now.
