Devils Can Land Jacob Markstrom Without Trading 10th Pick
June 11, 2024 by Josh Reinitz
The New Jersey Devils’ quest for a starting goalie seems near a conclusion. Despite several potentially available goalies, the Devils and general manager Tom Fitzgerald seem to have aimed their focus on Calgary and the Flames’ veteran netminder, Jacob Markstrom. Pundits, writers, and fans have debated which goalie is best for New Jersey. With the availability of many of the top options clouded by no-movement clauses and a lack of clarity as to whom teams are willing to trade, Markstrom appears both the most likely and probably the safest available option for Fitzgerald. Whether he is the correct choice remains to be seen, but having targeted Markstrom, the next calculation is what a fair price is.
Bruins & Devils Could Be Good Trade Partners for Linus Ullmark

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney has roughly $20 million in salary cap space to work with this offseason to find players who will improve the club. One of the biggest trade chips on the market is Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark. Ullmark is entering the final year of his contract, worth $5 million per season. That is a very affordable cap hit for a team looking to upgrade in net. Also, there is no shortage of suitors for his services, which reportedly includes the Ottawa Senators. However, the more intriguing team in the mix is the New Jersey Devils, who could be a great trade partner.Â
