I actually think Connie will get more in the off season for Markstrom than he was getting offered at the deadline. It didn't look like teams were scrambling that hard to find goalies at the time, TBH. I think teams will be more open to giving up more for Markstrom knowing they'll have him before the start of the season so he can adapt before starting.

Disagree, the goalie market shifts to Saros (if available) and Ullmark. They’ll dictate the goalie market. They both were not traded because both are in a playoff spot, with Nashville relying heavily on Saros and Boston keeping Ullmark because a) he didn’t waive and b) they are fine rolling with their tandem into the playoffs.
If you’re a GM, I think you go after those two before Markstrom. Cost/benefit analysis though could show Markstrom would have the higher demand because he wouldn’t cost nearly as much as the other two, especially Saros.
