Especially given Markstrom’s age, I don’t imagine teams are placing value on the years once this contract expires and the ability they will have to re-sign him.
I guess we can debate everything but sure seems like Markstrom in particular is right at his peak value.

Agreed.
What’s most important is he’s dealt before next season, from a flames draft pick perspective. With how the Barn Burner guys broke down the pick conditions with Montreal and Florida, it’s pretty vital the flames are a bottom 10 team next year to not take a big hit in this rebuild.
