It’s also difficult to gauge what an overpay/high price is for Markstrom at this point. The goalie market is very unique this year. If it has to be a really good offer for Conroy to approach Markstrom about waiving his NMC, my guess is a first round pick + A-level prospect. I know that’s way more than anyone gets for goalies but Conroy does not need or want to trade Markstrom. It might have to be an offer that’s way higher than what we’ve seen for goalies in the past.
The catch will be that level of return will have to include making the cap work. The flames will have to retain salary or take back a contract because few teams (if any) have room to take on Markstrom’s cap hit right now.
