You can like the young players you have and still recognize that you won't have the horses to contend next season.
You can also recognize that the UFA market, even if you overpay and exhaust your available cap, doesn't have these horses either.
So short some miracle trade, the best move is likely still to trade Markstrom this summer. The team in front of him will be weaker next season, as such it is not a good gamble to keep him and have his value slide.
I assume this is why people are still obsessing over this trade?
