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.
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.
