Markstrom was a solid goalie, but he definitely wasn't as elite as some made him out to be.
Some of the local media would sometimes group him with the top guys in the league which was silly imo.
We got great value for him with the 1st + Bahl.
Mercer was always a pipe dream, and was probably fueled by this idea that he was one of those "top guys".
I don't think he was any better then Elliot or Talbot for us
