And as for the draft, they will probably end up with the same player regardless.

Markstrom regressing to his career average around .912 absolutely means more to this team given that we still have him for 3 more seasons
Him playing well provides so much relief about this team going forward. Which is how I felt in those couple of good weeks.
Drafting 13th overall vs 15th overall doesn't really make a big difference. There's enough good players in this draft that in either spot you're probably picking from the same tier of talent.
