And last year, they traded for a goalie at the trade deadline (Korpisalo), and that didn't turn out too well. But we'll see. If they are looking to add Markström, what strapping young lad are we hoping to get in return? Who is their equivalent of Marcer?

Maybe not broken, but any team looking to compete for the Stanley Cup should be maximizing what they can get out of their goaltending. Markstrom/Korpisalo are not comparable, he is on another level. Markstrom is a clear upgrade on Talbot, more durable (Talbot is often battling injuries), so they'd be improving their team this season while also giving insurance that they'd have a goalie over the next 2 seasons. Don't forget Rittich has experience being Markstrom's backup - an underrated advantage.
Not too familiar with kings prospects/young players but I know they have a lot.
