Markstrom Trade Could Shake Devils

The New Jersey Devils’ controversial extension of struggling goalie Jacob Markstrom is finally starting to pay off — with a twist. While the old deal locked him in, the new contract now includes a 20-team no-trade list, giving new GM Sunny Mehta a real shot to trade him. With Florida Panthers needing a goalie and having just enough cap space to fit Markstrom’s $6M price tag, a deal could be in the works — especially since their own goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky, is seeking a big payday they can’t afford. If Markstrom can just provide average goaltending, he’s a perfect fit for a Panthers team that wins by outscoring opponents. For the Devils, trading him clears cap space and gets rid of a liability — a move Mehta should prioritize to fix the mess he inherited.
