On paper he's the best option for Calgary to add, because he's been very good the last few seasons on a below average team combined with the fact that they don't have to lose assets to acquire him.

I think it's more who to trade
But if markstrom.bas a full NMC, their leverage on Demko is super low
Teams would essentially know, you get nothing or you take what we get, this changes a bit if multiple teams are wanting him, but it's still lower than if you can at least say you might move Marky
I get why he's hesitant, to take the deal that only has a NMC post expansion draft, because he has the chance right now to choose where he goes, it would suck for him to sign, and then potentially have no say in it 12 months from now
