Ottawa probably would consider a similar trade with a protected pick in 25 as well.
I could see the Devils, Sabres or Red Wings moving their 1st this year.

Agreed on Markstrom, no way that happens and his value is liekly a protected 25 1st.
I don't think Utah can get a dman like Andersson for a top ten protected pick though. Comparables wise Andersson should be the same as Hronek and Chychrun. Top 15 pick and late 1st/2nd swap isn't crazy if the marching orders are to make playoffs ASAP
