For the first time maybe ever, I’m not sure if Jacob Markstrom will be with the Vancouver Canucks next season.
To be clear, friend of the show Rick Dhaliwal is reporting that both sides want to get a deal done. But it sounds like the Canucks are playing a bit of hardball in terms of the term and whether his contract will have expansion draft protection.
It’s not at a point like Alex Pietrangelo with St. Louis where there’s been a big enough impasse that he’s bolting.
