Markström Will Play in Sweden Next Season

With Craig Anderson a UFA and seeking a starter's job, all kinds of scenarios fly around, but it looks like one - people expecting to sign Swedish goalie Jacob Markström, to back up Vokoun - can be put to bed.

It was only a small paragraph towards the bottom of an article about Tomas Vokoun, but here's Jacques Martin's quote from the story:
He has another year on his contract. That’s great development for him. It’s equivalent if not better than the American Hockey League (AHL). At only 19, I’m OK with that. Hopefully, at the end of next year, we’ll get him under contract and it will be up to him, his performance, to dictate whether he’s ready to play here or whether he needs more time in the (AHL).

A day before the regular season ended, I was anxious to find some content to fill the off-season, but the reality set in and it was a bit deflating, so I've just been looking for work and watching the playoffs.
