I'm less concerned about Markstrom than I am Coleman. Goalies seem to play well into their later 30s, I think because so much of the position is positioning rather than athleticism, and it's more about the team not allowing royal road crossing passes. Though, and I'm digressing here, over-35 goalies don't seem to be able to perform in the Stanley Cup Finals in the cap era, I think because the opponents are really good and force them to use their athleticism.
With Markstrom it's really just health. When he got hurt last year he flatout cost us games.
