I think getting the returns that have been rumoured is an absolute re-tool altering return that nobody would have expected 40 games ago.
Sure he's been the MVP for 37 games this year, but in the offseason people thought we couldn't give that contract away.
You need to always look at the big picture and full body of work, and to me that screams SELL HIGH. Especially considering the position of this full roster without Hanifin and Tanev.

The average .904 percentage was precisely because of his early return. Knock out those and his average is consistent with the rest of his career except for last year.
The offseason people thinking he was done are emotional fans, not knowledgeable GMs. They were wrong then, obviously.
Markstrom may slide some, and the best deal might have been now. But maybe not. It's pretty tough when there is only one real suitor. Maybe there will be more of a bidding war later.
