Yes, for Swayman.
Not for Markström and a bunch of lesser assets.

The Devils have pretty good depth in their prospect pipeline, your idea of the Devils moving way further back in the draft doesn't fill a need for them.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Who would you take with that 10th overall? Risk taking Eiserman in the top ten? Celebrini, Demidov, Catton, Lindstrom and Iginla all go before 10. Eiserman is a liability outside of the O zone 99% of the time, Helenius is good, but not insane offensively, Nygard isn’t good enough to risk choosing him as a top ten pick and Connelly is a player with some big holes in his game rn.</div></div>
I'd be happy with Eiserman or Helenius at #10. One of Brandsegg-Nygård, Parekh or Buium could also be available.
There's gonna be a very interesting player available at #10. Is that not why you'd love for the Flames to trade Markström for that pick?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Yall need goaltending pretty damn badly. Marky at 34 is still a top 20 goalie in the league. Rn he has some trust issues with management and needs a change of scenery. Say he’s worth a second on his own, throw retention on and he’s valued at a late first. Throw in VAN first and pair that with the fact that NJ doesn’t need the pick, and that trade gets done, no?</div></div>
No. Trading a super valuable asset like #10 for a mid 30s goalie having a last hurrah of career year but also falling off a cliff right after TDL would be a disastrous move for the Devils.
And what do you mean about the Devils not needing the pick? Picking a top 6 guy up on an ELC for when the Devils are right in the middle of their window of contention would be huge for them.

Besides, it's not like Markström is the only goalie out there.
Ullmark could probably be had for the NJD 2025 1st. Kähkönen played amazing in very difficult circumstances over the course of the season, could easily resign him. Allen had a very good showing too.
Point being, there are plenty of better alternatives than Markström out there for the Devils. Markström never made any sense to acquire, even less so now.
