I still hold out hope that he rounds in to shape, but at some point don’t you have to think GMs may look at the body of work over 6+ full seasons

Grubauer wasn't available at the time of the draft. They had no way of knowing he'd be made available / wouldn't sign in Colorado. Yes, I do think they would have taken Markstrom. He'd be pretty familiar with two of their division rivals
