I hope to god the Flames are looking for a better return on Markstrom with 50% retained than a deal where the centre piece is Kaliyev coming back

The Markstrom package has to at least start with the Kuemper return IMO (two firsts and a third). That was what Colorado gave up for a 4.5 million dollar a year goalie. The return on a trade cannot be “we will suck and get a higher draft pick”. That just makes absolutely no sense, keep the guy if that is all you are getting back.
