Top 15? Maybe. He is an average starter IMO, which isn't the worst thing.
The 4th place in Vezina voting in 2019-20 was an outlier. Of 29 voters, one voted him second and 4 voted him 3rd. So can't really say he was clearly the 4th best goalie but he had a great season. Most starters in the league older than say 28 have probably had a similar season.
With his contract, we just need him to stay healthy and dependable.
