I'd love a huge return for Markstrom, but to me the biggest thing is moving the asset as I see that as key to truly turning the page from the old core.
Give Wolf the crease.
Increase the likelihood of not getting burned on that Montreal first.
Make year two of a rebuild obvious.
At one point Markstrom was an albatross to most that would require the insertion of a high pick to move his salary.
If his value is a little lower now than it could have been at the trade deadline I'm honestly not all that fussed about it. Just get that page turned.
