I really want to see Nemec in a Flames uniform, get a 3rd Slovak on the team. I doubt that Markstrom at 50% retained would get us that.
I think the Flames would target picks; or a stud 19-24 year old center(Necas, Mercer)/defense(Byram) prospect in a return for Markstrom. We're pretty deep on the wing, but with Lindholm/Hanifin/Tanev leaving, it would be ideal if we had a young player that could step into that role. Like Wolf would at the goaltending position.
I could be overvaluing Markstrom, but he is a top 5 goalie in the league this year, and would give a team 3 runs at the Stanley cup.
