This is a transitional year for this team. Its a year made to improve and let the kids play and develop. Demko, Hughes, Petey, Juolevi, Rafferty etc. should all be able to use this year and NHL time to develop.
Personally I would trade Markstrom at the deadline. BUT, you would have to get a good return (1st+) and a decent NHL goalie to split the starts with Demko if he struggles.Something like
Markstrom
for
Talbot+1st+Bennett
This team should not be afraid of moving players such as Sutter, Pearson, Leivo, Beagle, Schaller, Tanev and Benn to give opportunities to developing youngsters such as Gaudette, MacEwen, Goldy, Baer, Juolevi, Rafferty, Jasek and Lind
