What Jacob Markstrom?
2023/24 or 2022/23?
2021/22 or 2020/21?
Because you can be spinning your wheels again with a 35 year old Markstrom in net next season anyways.
I would much rather have Holtz + 1st or 2 1sts if we are going to spinning our wheels anyways, and there is probably at least a 30% chance of that even if Markstrom were to stay.
The best thing for the long term future of this team (2+ years out) is to maximize the value of the asset that is Jacob Markstrom, and the best way to do that is by trading him to a desperate Devils team.
