52 games last season .911 save % and .908 the years prior with 42 and 37 games played.
He may even be someone we could extend if he is decent enough.

I agree and double salary retained for next year, I bet some of these teams struggling in net would pay a 2nd for him. Getting him next year at just over league minimum could be huge value and is easy to dump if it doesn't work out.
I like retaining salary on Vanecek over Markstrom if I'm the Conroy.
Getting pieces you can flip for a pick also might be the best way to get value for Markstrom, rather than holding out for Mercer and it never happens.
