We're not talking about trading Markstrom the player, we're talking about trading Markstrom's contract, and the remaining $16.5 million he's owed on it. For that contract to have positive trade value, he'd need to be playing lights out every game, which he simply isn't.

Just read the responses to you above - the answers are already there.
Markstrom is, and is playing like, a #1 goalie. And $6M is not unreasonable for a starter.
