As the great Harry Neale is credited with saying, "Goaltending is 75% of your hockey team, unless you don't have it. Then it's 100%.
If a team thinks that Markstrom can do what Bobrovsky did last year in the playoffs than they may well give up a first for him.
I could see something that allows the Flames to get something more if the team reaches the final four, the finals, or wins the cup in the next three years.
