They skip that they will run into more competition during the summer and Markstrom's value will plummet.

I think the scouts don’t think much of Holtz. So if that’s the case why settle for him? Not being snarky or anything because I do agree now is the time to cash in on Markstroms highest value, but I don’t know why we’d settle for something we don’t believe in? For the record I don’t know either Holtz or Mercer’s upsides.
