And if you're committed to the premise that trade values are based on the last 3 2/3 seasons rather than the last 1 or 2, I'm curious what you think point-per-game all-star winger Jonathan Huberdeau is worth in a trade.

So what you are saying is that Markstrom makes around the average salary for starting goalies but has results (both this year and over the life of the contract) that show he is better than the average goalie. I think that clearly adds up to negative value.
