If Markstrom regains some confidence and even puts up a shutout or two, he can be traded in the offseason, maybe with a bit of salary retention.

I don't think Markstrom is tradeable. Aging 6 million dollar sieve? The only thing that comes to mind is to send him to a tanking team as a tank commander. Something like Vejmelka for Markstrom + some picks. The problem is the NMC we have smartly given him. So every trade option needs to have his green light. How many possibilities are there? I don't think there are any.
