The Jacob Markstrom era has officially come to an end fo the Vancouver Canucks.

Hours after the club signed Braden Holtby, Markstrom has inked a deal with the Calgary Flames that will pay him $6-million a year for the next six years. The deal was likely around a million more than the Canucks were willing to pay and a year longer, too.

In Markstrom, the Canucks lose their last link to Roberto Luongo, too. Jacob came to Vancouver in a March 2014 trade from the Florida Panthers that saw the club flip them Luongo.

While Markstrom sat behind Ryan Miller and Eddie Lack in 2013-14, he broke out in 2015-16 posting a 13-14-4 record and a .915 save percentage.

All in all, Markstrom leaves the Canucks having played in 229 games for the organization posting a 99-93-27 record with a .913 save percentage. His only playoff performances came this year with the Canucks run that saw Markstrom play in 14 games posting a 8-6 record and a .919 save percentage.

This past season, Markstrom had one of the best years of his career. Named to the All-Star game for the first time and placing fourth in Vezina voting, Markstrom posted a 23-16-4 record, a .918 save percentage and a +11.40 goals saved above average.

So long, Jacob.
