Mentioned in before, but the pick value for NJs 10th is doable for the Markstrom 50% retained and the Vancouver pick. If the retention is worth a 29th and the Vancouver is about the same, the value gap is a high 2nd round pick, which Markstrom is worth more than that if you look at the Kuemper and Miller trades.

If the flames can trade Markstrom retained and Van 1st for 10OA, I’d make that move.
….that said, the Flames place high value on salary retention. Otherwise, a deal would have already been done from the sounds of things.
