I can't believe all the comments against Markstrom.
I don't care what his career numbers are because:
1) he has spent most of his NHL career on terrible, rebuilding teams
2) he has developed into a great goalie in the last couple of years
Do people forget that last season and these playoffs already? Markstrom carried the Canucks on his back all season. They would not have made the post season without him.
IMO, he is, BY FAR, the best goalie available right now. And he is a free agent (assuming he makes it to free agency), so he can be acquired without giving up assets.
I would happily sign him for 5x5, and I expect that he will get more than that.
