Calgary Flames trade goaltender Jacob Markstrom

This afternoon, reports are coming in that goalie Jacob Markstrom has been traded from Calgary. He will join the New Jersey Devils, who have been in search of a goalie since the end of the season.

Markstrom to the Devils. In return Calgary gets 23 year old Dman Kevin Bahl and a 1st round pick in 2025.

First reported by Travis Yost, the deal has now been confirmed by Frank Seravalli as well.

Additional reports have confirmed that Jacob Markstrom will indeed be traded to the New Jersey Devils. In exchange, the Calgary Flames will receive young defenseman Kevin Bahl and a first-round pick in the 2025 draft.

Kevin Bahl is a reliable defenseman known for his defensive skills, with NHL experience that should immediately benefit Calgary. The first-round pick will help the Flames replenish their prospect pipeline, indicating a potential full rebuild underway.

Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils secure Jacob Markstrom, the franchise goalie they've long sought. Markstrom was a standout in Calgary over four seasons, playing a pivotal role in their success prior to the last two seasons.

At 34 years old, he is nearing the end of his tenure as a starting goalie, but Jacob Markstrom could be precisely what the New Jersey Devils need to elevate their team to the next level in the immediate term.

This trade will require time to assess fully. If the New Jersey Devils can capitalize on Markstrom's early seasons with them, they appear poised to emerge as the initial winners of this trade.
