I still think Markstrom's value at the draft will be considerably lower than it is now. It will be one less playoff run for the acquiring team. And since goalies are so unpredictable, there would be a lot more risk with the quality of Markstrom's play moving into next season.
NJ now only has an 18% chance of making the playoffs. We're getting near the end of the line. If a trade doesn't happen, it's a major disappointment both for Fitzgerald and for Conroy.
