I get it from looking at the Statline perspective acquiring him isn't "sexy". But the truth is , Markstrom sling this team on his back after his broken finger injury and inflated the teams place in the standings himself until the deadline.
That stretch of games he was legitimately one of the best goalies in the league. It's fair to say he stood on his head.
Putting Markstrom on any of those 3 teams puts them 10 points higher or more in the standings. Easily.

They also watched him get blown up in his last playoff series and have a really bad follow up year.
If I was a fan of their teams I'd be fine with a late/protected 1st. No way would I give up a top ten pick for him.
