Good to see Markstrom at the very least raising his trade value. Feels like there’s a few teams that could use a good goalie right now.

He has negative trade value. If he was making $2m a year, and this was the last year of his deal, then sure, he'd be worth something in return. He's carries a $6m cap hit for this season and two more after that. He's a very below average goalie, and a few good games won't change the fact that nobody is going to take his contract off our hands. We had to include a first rounder to get rid of Monahan's expiring contract, which was less of a cap hit than Markstrom. Two more seasons at six million a year means we're stuck with him.
