The New Jersey Devils aren’t giving up on Jacob Markstrom but looking at options
TSN: The New Jersey Devils haven’t given up on the idea of acquiring goaltender Jacob Markstrom according to Pierre LeBrun.
“Part of the reason talks broke down is because the Devils want the Flames to retain some of Markstrom’s salary on two-and-a-half years left. If Calgary does that, what’s the asset that goes the other way? There was some disagreement on all that.”
The Devils are also kicking tires on Juuse Saros, John Gibson and Jake Allen.
LeBrun says the Nashville Predators have put Saros’ name out there, but the cost is high.
