If Markstrom is the Devil's primary target, then whatever they deem to be the value of acquiring him is the true value.

We can talk circles all the day long about what's valued at what but it takes to teams to make a deal and if NJ gives up 10th overall for Markstrom, then that's his value.

Thing is with historical precedents is they don't matter much if a team wants a player enough.

Ill keep going back to the Tanner Jeanot trade until the day I die on that front. That was egregious overspending for a 4th liner.

And then to a lesser but far more painful extent, I'll add in the trade of Travis Hamonic to CGY.

If a team wants a guy bad enough, they'll pay.
