Maybe there’s a player he wants at 7 that he doesn’t think will be there at 9.
Maybe he thinks Parekh is Erik Karlsson and thinks he has a better shot at him at 7.
I’m not saying it’s a straight across deal, just that doing a deal with Ottawa for markstrom could/would involve a swap of picks among other assets.
