With Markstrom, the Flames could well keep and use him. They need to flex that muscle if they want to maximize this value.
The crossover between people angry at the Hannifin return and angry the Flames haven't traded Markstrom yet is crazy to me.

Not really. One of the biggest reasons some people want Markstrom traded now is because he has pretty high value, and you want to avoid a Hanifin situation where he's a pending UFA 2 years down the road and only wants to go to one team, and sewering our return. The "crossover" is actually consistent.
