Ottawa Senators fans, would you be willing to part ways with centerman Shane Pinto if it meant acquiring the starting goalie out of Calgary?
With Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom finding his name back circulating around trade rumors, with the help of NHL 24, we found out what the Senators would have to give up to acquire the Swedish netminder.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on the 32 Thoughts podcast that anytime anyone brings up a goaltender's name in trade discussions, you have to include Ottawa in on them.
For those who are looking for a different platform to manage your favorite team’s cap space, since CapFriendly will be gone in the next month, NHL 24’s salary cap in Franchise Mode goes up to $89 million after the first year, almost making it spot-on with the new projected NHL salary cap of $88 million.
In all of our other mock trade simulation videos, it’s proved to be a grind to get on the same page as the CPU GM in the game.
However, this time around it was a piece of cake. The Flames accepted our first trade proposal. And no it did not include Brady Tkachuk.
We believe this was a fair hockey deal and not an overpayment from Ottawa’s perspective. The full details of our completed mock trade between Ottawa and Calgary are in the video linked in the article.
