See what happens at the draft and make the trade then.

He's Vezina calibre this year, wasn't last year, might not be next year when he turns 35 and is still owed 12 million dollars over his last two seasons. Players, especially goalies can go from valuable to dump territory at that age fast. MA Fluery won the Vezina and was promptly traded for Mikael Hakkarainen who hadn't played an an NHL game and didn't (since retired due to heart condition).
Trying to predict goalie value is a fool's game. It's entirely possible Markstrom's value won't ever come close to what New Jersey was offering again
