I'm still not entirely sure why we would want Markstrom when we could just re-sign Talbot. He might be a bit older, but outside of his one terrible season, he's statistically been similar or better than Markstrom every year.
Markstrom might give you more runway for that age, but I don't think he's a great solution in net. Would rather swing for the fences on a younger guy than pay money and term for a middling starter over 30 (or just pay less money and term to the middling starter over 30 we already have).
