Dreaming, but I like the concept of:
Markstrom ($1.5M retained)
Tanev (50% retained)
for
Nemec
This would get us a (future) elite D man in our top 4 to replace the loss of Tanev and anchor our D-core going forward. NJ is dealing from a position of strength as they have Hughes, Hamilton (R), Marino (R) & Siegenthaler locked up long term with Seamus Casey (another R) knocking on the door.
Markstrom could be the missing piece for them so I don't think the ask is unreasonable. IMO Markstrom & Tanev are worth a 1st each, retention is worth a 2nd. So basically Nemec for two 1st's & a 2nd - fair value IMO.
