How bad the contract is would dictate the return you get for markstrom.
Using the leafs as an example… i could see the flames having to take back Ryan Reaves. Other pieces would likely have to be involved for the cap to work for leafs. But who adds picks/prospects? I don’t really know. Markstrom’s cap hit is much bigger (which is a huge factor) but he is a contributing player at an important position. Reaves is just a warm body at this point who is signed for 3 years. Most leaf fans would say he is not an NHLer at this point. Likely not what the leafs need.

Taking all the bias out.
What would a realistic Markstrom for Campbell trade look like?
Edit: I know it won’t happen, just for fun.
