I note, running the calculator at the link, that PuckPedia figures 50% retention on Markstrom's contract would be worth the 29th pick overall (ignoring the value of the player). According to Sound of Hockey's table of draft-pick trade values, the 29th pick is worth a little less than half as much as the 10th.

I think #10 for Markstrom with maximum retention could be in play.
According to that calculator, retaining 25% on Huberdeau's contract is worth the 2nd overall pick. That can't be right.
