Wow. I disagree with this so strongly, I had to comment.

Markstrom and Kuemper are pretty similar in value - I prefer Markstrom personally, but I welcome either one. And either one would be the best goalie we have had in a very long time.

But as for asset management:

Kuemper minus a mid-1st in a strong draft <<<< Markstrom minus nothing

Markstrom probably costs something like $5.5M per. But I would much rather pay an extra million than give up a 1st unnecessarily.
