I’d be wary of acquiring him. I feel like there is some system masking going on there.
Markstrom has played in front of all kinds of systems, and had success (and bad years) under all of them. Markstrom seems to play better when he’s getting shelled, though his best statistical season was under Sutter.
I think Markstrom is the better goalie asset to acquire. 3 playoff runs at a discounted price with the ability to play lights out and win you a series.

IMO Markstrom has had exactly one bad season (last year). His first year here he was fine before his injury and then IMO he came back way too soon and his numbers suffered. Then he became really good again. Wound up with a .904 for the year but I'd discount a large portion of the middle of his work that season. Last season seems to be the outlier to me.
