So a 1st, probably in the 20-32 range, a "B" level prospect, and lower level roster player. Glad you're coming around to reality.
Define "a haul".
I see a haul as two good assets, probably a "B" level prospect and a decent draft pick like a conditional 1st/2nd with the condition being making it deep in the playoffs during any of the three possible seasons Markstrom plays for the team, which means a pick possibly way out in the future. That would be a big return on a goaltender with a $6M cap hit and a limited track record of success in the playoffs.

For Lindholm, I don't think that Conroy is going for quantity, but rather quality. So instead of a roster player and B prospect, probably combining them for one high risk/high reward player and a later 1st.
A 'haul' for Markstrom is clearly a high recent 1st. Thus the request for one of New Jersey's recent first round selections. That cuts into the risk factor and also is a very significant return. Markstrom not officially being on the block allows Conroy to be a bit of a bully.
