He was 7th in Quality starts in the league last year. How good is expected to be this year?
In 2019-20 he had 25 QS, tied for 9/10 in the league.
In 2018-19 he has 34 QS tied for 5/8.
Last year was not that much an off year for Markstrom. A 10% improvement would make it a career year for him.

The better goalie stat to use is goals saved above replacement, or the number of goals he gave up less or more than the average goaltender based on the shot quality he faced.
Markstrom was 34th for goalies that played 20 or more games at -9.3.
Huge room for improvement. I'll say it again ... huge.
