Markstrom wasn't a "centerpiece". It was a trade we were forced to make, much like the OEL deal was going to be. We were given two teams and had to make it work. We needed a goalie to come back to make the trade work.

Markstrom cleared waivers prior to getting the right coach to re-build him. Don't get it twisted, his career wasn't 'done' but it wasn't far from it.
