Having $6M of cap space instead of $3M of cap space after dealing Markstrom is huge. Somebody needs to get rid of 1 year * $6M contract...maybe you can buy yourself a 1st, do that both offseasons and it's 2 1sts.
Markstrom might have little to no value at $6M (although with a strong season that could easily change). But even now at $3M he should hold large value and be worth more than Copley+Turcotte.

You wouldn't spend $6M in cap-space over the next two seasons for Turcotte? That's crazy to me. I'd do that every day. Copley is just to give Calgary a meh goalie for the remainder of this season so Vladar could run with it. Turcotte for $6M is like buying a 1st round pick, but a few years down the path in development. With him being healthy now? I think he's a great target.
