Jacob Markstrom has requested a trade out of Vancouver, according to Jason Botchford of The Province.
Markstrom sees the writing on the wall with Ryan Miller being signed and Eddie Lack the likely backup. The Canucks have explored trades and there are interest from three teams. "That situation could work itself out over the summer," general manager Jim Benning said. "The teams that are interested may have to move out another guy. . We're exploring that for Jacob. But if that doesn't happen, Jacob comes to camp. He has a good attitude. He understands the situation. . Look at Minnesota last year. They went through about five goalies." Markstrom carries a $1.2 million cap hit. He had a .918 save percentage in 29 games in the AHL last year, and a .873 save percentage in 16 games in the NHL.
