Details surface regarding Toronto Maple Leafs' offer for Jacob Markstrom
The Toronto Maple Leafs' Pursuit of Goaltending Help for Their Stanley Cup Chase: Insights into Their Pursuit of Former Flame Jacob Markstrom.
The NHL off-season kicked off with a bang last week, featuring surprising moves by top names Jacob Markstrom and Pierre-Luc Dubois. The long-awaited deal for Markstrom saw him heading to the New Jersey Devils, who ultimately sent a depth defenseman and a top-10 protected first-rounder to the Flames in return for the 34-year old veteran.
Now, predictably, a recent report has unveiled Toronto's interest in Jacob Markstrom, a move not surprising considering GM Brad Treliving originally signed Markstrom for Calgary.
However, the report may disappoint many Maple Leafs fans, revealing that the team made a comparable offer to the Flames. Ultimately, Craig Conroy opted for the Devils' deal, likely influenced by Markstrom's no-movement clause decision.
On Goalies: Talk about how Detroit is in the goalie market but Yzerman said he's not looking for someone who will only be there for 2-3 years. Toronto's offer for Markstrom was similar to New Jersey's. #LGRW #LeafsForever #Flames #NJDevils #NHL
With Darcy Keumper also traded to Los Angeles, that makes two top goaltending options no longer available for the Toronto Maple Leafs. While Joseph Woll demonstrated promise as a starter in the playoffs, he cannot be the sole solution in net for Toronto.
The specifics of their offer to Calgary remain unclear, but it likely included a first-round pick and a player such as Timothy Liljegren or Nick Robertson. Ultimately, Markstrom's decision was pivotal due to the full no-movement clause granted by Treliving.
Maple Leafs offer:
Timothy Liljegren, 2025 1st Round Draft Pick
Flames offer:
Jacob Markstrom
There are still options available for the Maple Leafs, but their pursuit of Markstrom demonstrates their proactive approach in addressing a critical need.
