I knew when I saw all the discussions here of getting the 10th pick in a Markstrom trade that plenty here were going to be disappointed in the actual return. Flames were never going to get a top 10 pick for a 34 year old goaltender. This is a pretty good return for a goaltender that's only good every second season. Let's not forget that a year ago we were discussing if the guy had any trade value whatsoever coming off an abysmal season.
