The Leafs got a 1st and a 2nd for a goalie.
Both those returns are better than a 1st and a 3rd.

True. Hard to really know what the market is for goalies right now as far as returns. I don’t think either of those goalies you mentioned were Markstrom’s age or had as big of a cap hit for as long. Another recent example, Fleury - one of the top goalies in NHL history who had just won the Vezina trophy - was given away as a cap dump by Vegas.
