I doubt they move Markstrom unless he very strongly wants out. They don't like to trade key guys under contract even when they should. They never get ahead of these things. Selling endings UFAs as a non-playoff team was a big deal for this club.
They're going to want a top 9 center and a #4 defensive dman.
I've been saying for awhile that theyre going to make a run at Stephenson and a guy like Dylan, Pesce or Tanev.
If they don't it's because they've traded some picks to fill one of these roles.

I think the fact that a Markstrom deal was as close as it was this year, means he's most likely getting moved. Conroy and ownership has clearly gotten on board with moving him, and if I'm markstrom I would want to just go somewhere else now as well
