Toffoli is a rental. Rental prices get jacked up at the deadline. That's the way the world works. If toffoli had 2 more years at a high price (or 5 to match until the age Markstrom will be) it wouldn't help his value, in fact would probably hurt it. Honestly if Markstrom had 2 years instead of 3 his value would be higher.
I said it earlier but there's been very few goalies over the past 15 or so years to be able to sustain quality starter play from ages 34-36.
