Vladar has a winning record. Markstrom is the one tanking the season away he should be the one we should trade having a 6 million backup would be awful.

Markstrom is probably untradeable right now, but I agree about not trading Vladar. His stats might not be great for a starting goalie, but he has shown potential and I would prefer to look forward past this season.
A team might be more willing to take on Markstrom in the offseason where they can get him working with their coaches from the start and try to resurrect him. At the trade deadline though? I doubt any team wants any part of that.
