Again, it’s an average number, with a story to explain
I would prefer to see above average results, to saying (average + a story) = above average
That year that Markstrom was ‘elite’, Talbot had .919 here for 13th in the league, and Markstrom had .918 for 14th. Koskinen put up .917. Was Talbot’s year elite? How about Koskinen?

Yet GMs vezina voting, executives poll, every single analyst in the hockey world ranked Markstrom higher
Team play matters, I'm not sure why this is so hard
Grubauer was a great example...he is going to go from awesome numbers to #### in one season because his team sucks balls
It may or may not work out in the end but to suggest Brad did something crazy is dumb. Every single list had him as the top UFA goalie
