Saros has already been put on the market, the rumours for him on an expected return are the same as Markstrom, it's the same price. Boston isn't moving a goalie, their biggest strength is having a two tier goalie system. Even if they did the Bruins almost certainly move Ullmark and keep Swayman, so guess what his price is going to be? Yup, at least the rumoured return for Markstrom and Saros, probably more. There is no scenario here where NJ waits it out and gets a legit workhorse #1 goalie for cheap.
