Trying to be cognizant of the paywall but these two sentences stick out to me on the rationale for the grade. Then you take into account Sec's scout insight and it makes ya wonder what this analysis is based on, outside of gut feelings, coulda-woulda-shoulda and getting articles out quick.

When you lose a deal in this many ways — no prime pick, no prospect, no impact lineup player, money sent the other way — the grade can’t be anything but harsh.

But Markstrom, especially with salary retained, is worth a lot more than that. Calgary should have been able to use the fact that the Devils were desperate for a No. 1 goalie to their advantage, and they really missed their chance to do that.
