Yes, well, that first wasn't going to be 10th overall. The Devils were expecting to make the playoffs – the very reason they wanted to add a goalie – and in any case the pick would most likely have been protected.
I don't blame the Flames at all for not taking Holtz instead. They don't need another middle-six winger, and even the Devils don't appear to think much of that particular one.
But that's all water under the bridge. The question is whether Markstrom with retention is worth the 10th pick to the Devils, with no other players or prospects thrown in, and how much one side or the other would have to add.
