You could argue that with more suitors in the offseason, Markstrom’s value has increased. But if one of those teams is draft asset poor (the Leafs) and another a franchise that Markstrom would probably block with his NTC (the Senators), I don’t know that pushes the Devils beyond what they offered before the deadline.

We don't really know what his value was. We don't know what the package they negotiated was either.
I have been guessing a draft pick and Holtz.
Now we have some reporters saying 10th overall is in play, one guy saying his value is down.
What if the offer was a protected 25 1st and Holtz. Is getting 10th overall really a downgrade?
If we end up with a 3rd and conditional 5th and some throw in prospect that might be down in value, but its what Mike Smith got at the same age and contract.
