Pursuing the ‘good player on a bad team’ involves some risk.
When I look at an elite goalie on a bad team, the first one that comes to mind is Roberto Luongo, the years he was in Florida. He had a bad W-L and great sv%
I simply think it is a real risk that Markstrom actually is what his stats say - average - ish. And he isn’t paid to be average-ish. Talbot is paid to be average. Mike Smith is paid to be average

He had 1 elite gear and several above average years in my opinion. Boasting over a .910 on a team that finished 29th, 26th, 23rd, and 17th in those years is impressive and above average in my opinion.
