Not to mention, Markstrom is playing exceptionally well this season and teams could easily talk themselves into saying yeah but what if he reverts back next season as he often does?
And teams are desperate right now. The historical return for goaltenders in the offseason is less than what's being kicked around right now. A first rounder alone is probably the best value you're going to get in the summer. If that.
