To Vancouver: Cody Franson 4th
To Toronto: Chris Tanev

To Buffalo: Jacob Markstrom
To Vancouver: 2015 4th, 6th

Face it, Jacob Markstrom might be a good goalie in the future. But now, he's value is a good 4th. On both of the teams (Florida,Vancouver) he hasn't played like a starter nor a backup. Might be young, might of been in the top 3 goalies of the past draft.

Tanev has more value, the 4th doesn't cut it

I LOVE that Franson for Tanev trade.

I like the trade for Jacob Markstrom. He seems to be extra in the Vancouver system and will not get much playing time with Lack & Miller ahead of him. He has not played up to his potential, but he cannot be sent to the minors unless he is put on waivers and could be claimed by another team. So take a guess which team is most likely to be in last place and would get him for nothing! Instead of 4th & 6th Murray I think would prefer to trade prospects.

I think the Canucks will hold on to both Markstrom and Lack, just in case 1 of Miller or Lack gets injured. If they don't decide to hold on to Markstrom, they will trade him for something much better than a 4th and a 6th.

At least a 2nd rder

@Ace, Markstrom is not close to worth a 2nd round pick. Nobody is giving up a 2nd round pick for a AHL goalie. You didn't read my text, Markstrom played bad for both teams. No excuse. I would let it slide in Florida as they didn't have a good team. Vancouver had an OK team. And the defense was good. Him letting 3-6 goals a game is not NHL worthy. Not at the moment.

Murray would have to move either Enroth to Neuvirth before making this trade.
To Buffalo: Jacob Markstrom ($1,200,000/1 yr then RFA)
To Vancouver: prospects who have been just as disappointing as Markstrom (i.e. Luke Adam and Phil Verone or similar).
If Markstrom could reach his predraft potential he would be a very good GK, if does not work out, put him on waivers and bring up Hacket or Makarov. It is a small risk with a very high upside.
