Maybe a little off topic but what exactly is Markstrom's form
31 year old goaltender 8 years in the league. 132-137 2.78 GAA .910 Sv%
Hockey reference does a Similarity Scores where they compare Goalies careers based on best adjusted point shares.
On Markstrom's
chart he compares closely to Ondrej Pavelec who believe it or not delivered 4 good seasons over his career similar to Markstrom. At their peak 4 years they are in a dead heat with Pavelic delivering 41.2 adjust pts and Markstrom 41.0
Yes Markstrom looks to be a legit NHL starter but to have a significant impact with the Flames he would have to play better than he has so far in his career.
Jonas Hiller would have had a better career than Markstrom using the best yr adjusted pts measurement. He was 32 as the Flames playoff goalie that won the first 3 out of 4 and lost game 5 2-1 against the Canucks the last time they won a playoff series.
