Calgary Flames GM reveals team's future plans with Jacob Markstrom

Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy recently disclosed what's in store for netminder Jacob Markstrom. After a brief absence due to a lower-body injury, Markstrom's role within the Flames organization have come under scrutiny.

According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, Conroy's planning to sit down with Markstrom once the season wraps up. Conroy sounded hopeful about a possible resolution.

"We need to sit down and talk," Conroy expressed. "I need to see where Marky’s head is at – if I can add something, see what he is thinking. We just need to sit down and have a conversation after the season."

With Markstrom's future up in the air, Conroy's all about staying in the moment.

"Right now I just want him to play and focus," Conroy remarked. "He’s been banged up a little bit, and hopefully, he is back soon."

As the Flames approach the conclusion of the regular season, attention will undoubtedly turn to the discussions between Conroy and Markstrom. It will be interesting to see how the Flames handle their goalies and who's on the roster next season.
