If you retain and the acquiring team does a buyout you're left sitting there helplessly crying for four years. I'd rather trade him straight up for future considerations if both the Devils and Markstrom are interested.

I think that isn't a reasonable worry with a team getting Markstrom for two years. There's zero chance they buy him out heading into next season, so the only worry is a last season buy out.
More cap savy posters could suggest what the Flames would be left with but I can't imagine the combination of the chance of it actually happening and the actual one year buy out would leave the Flames "hopelessly crying".
