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 and time/age is not on his side.

Jonas Hiller ( as the best Flame goalie since Kipper) would have had a better career than Markstrom using the best yr adjusted pts measurement. He was 32 as the Flames playoff goalie against the Canucks the last time the Flames won a playoff series. He played 26 more mediocre NHL games as a 33 year old.
