I'm sorry man, I have no idea how Cale Makar got brought into the conversation. I don't recall ever stating that if a player can't be fit under another's team cap, he automatically has negative trade value. That would give all the best players in the league, who are all on big money, negative trade value.
If Markstrom was so good, teams would be throwing picks and prospects at us, along with offsetting big money contracts to get him. Instead, we're going to have to eat 50% of his salary to get anything back. He was the worst starting goaltender in the league last year, and despite having played very well over the last month or two, is nowhere near an elite goalie.
