Devils Acquire Jacob Markstrom from Flames in High-Profile Goalie Trade

New Jersey sends Kevin Bahl and a protected 2025 first-round pick to Calgary for the veteran netminder.

Markstrom waived his no-movement clause to join the Devils, who aim to resolve their goaltending issues.
Calgary retains 31.25% of Markstrom's salary, reducing New Jersey's cap hit to $4.125 million annually.
Kevin Bahl, a 6-foot-6 defenseman, and a top-10 protected first-round pick in 2025 were traded to Calgary.
Markstrom struggled post-trade deadline but is expected to form a strong tandem with Jake Allen in New Jersey.
The trade aligns with Calgary's focus on adding young talent and draft capital while maintaining playoff competitiveness.
