Markstrom trade with retention is well within Conroy's discretion.
NJ might be our trade partner but Fitz will have to offer good value in return or someone else will get Markstrom.
Is a 10OA fair value for Markstrom retained. That I am not sure?

That matches with what I reported leading up to the deadline that the Flames at that time insisted on Mercer being in the return.
