Calgary Flames trading Jacob Markstrom to New Jersey Devils
One of the biggest NHL trade rumors this past season was Jacob Markstrom possibly being traded from the Calgary Flames to the New Jersey Devils.
A deal was almost done at the deadline, with the goaltender having even waived his no-trade clause, but it fell through because of salary retention issues.
Now, in the offseason, the trade has finally happened. Calgary GM Craig Conroy and Devils head man Tom Fitzgerald have agreed on a blockbuster deal.
Jacob Markstrom is officially a New Jersey Devil.

Markstrom to the Devils as we all expected
Markstrom has 2 years remaining on his deal at a AAV of $6,000,000, and is still owed $12,000,000 in salary.
Worth noting that Markstrom has a full NMC and therefore would have had to waive it in order to accommodate a trade to NJ.

Coming from the rebuilding Flames, the Devils have landed the all-star goaltender they've desperately needed to become a serious Stanley Cup contender. More details will come when available.
