Particularly with how the value of goalies has shifted, and the fact that teams have done well without a premium netminder, that you would be hard pressed to get that return.

Which may mean you just keep him and that makes sense.

I am rather surprised that several teams, who are young and trying to compete, are allowing goaltending to be the thing that is, or could, undermine their aspirations.
You definitely keep him if you cannot get a package similar to Kuemper in my opinion. If the package is like the Fleury package last year and it is just a 2nd that can turn into a 1st I would rather keep Markstrom and buyout Vladar in the offseason or retain 50% on Vladar for a 4th rounder or something.
