So as much as you want to open spots now, that's still a hard contract to move. I think he'll score in a contract year, so I'd try and build his value up to move him. Otherwise you're giving away a player that could have returned something, and I don't see him as an addition by subtraction type of problem.

Presuming that a Markstrom trade will also require retention, that's two slots used up which would constrict future options at the TDL with only one more retention slot open. It's a difficult situation.
