This one is from before last season, when Markstrom was signed

Now we’re talking. Some real classic July 1st-style money and term here. Markstrom is good - top ten starter in each of the past two seasons good. At least one proprietary model is even higher on him because of the number of rush chances Vancouver allows, which I’m open to but not willing to fully sign onto. Look, goalies are voodoo. Markstrom is almost uniquely consistent lately but that could change quick, as we all know. He stole quite a few games for the Canucks this year but he’s also prone to really bad starts as well. This deal could be a lot worse, but I’m not sold.

This was interesting, in his article he also looked at Lundqvist, Murray, Talbot, Khudobin and Holtby. These goalie numbers - I’m kind of with him, in the sense that future goalie prediction based on past results is often a crapshoot. Talbot had one very ugly season in his three year sample, and we all know where that was.
