NHL Rumors: Will the New Jersey Devils’ Bold Move on Jacob Markstrom Rewrite Goalie Contract History?
He seemed pretty confident that they will get something done. It’s just a matter of timing, obviously, with when that can happen now, because he’s been injured and because he’s just coming back on the ice and skating, they wanted to just let him kind of heal up before resuming some discussions. A minor pause in things, but by all accounts, they obviously want to get something done.
But it’s going to come down to just the structure of this deal. And because he’s in the 35-plus range on this next deal, that’s a factor within these discussions and these negotiations. So, again, they want to get there. We’ll see kind of where they go. But it’s going to take a little bit of creativity, by the sounds of things, in terms of how this will ultimately get structured with different bonuses that could potentially be in place.
