Chris Stewart - A valued power forward at the time
William Carrier - recent 2nd round pick scoring above a PPG in the Q
1st round pick (turned into Jack Roslovic)
2nd round pick (a bust in Linus Nassen)
Comps comps comps!!
Now kindly see yourself out.

Chris Stewart was traded a year later with 2 mill retention for a 2nd (the value came from the retention).
If Ott was a cap dump then why did STL resign him for the exact same amount?
You can call Halak, Ott, Stewart a net 0 wash approximately, none were very meaningful assets.
But again, if you want late 1st+2nd round prospect+3rd for 1.25 mill retained Markstrom, be my guest.
And again, goalie values have only gone down as teams have gotten smarter
