At the end of the day, Markstrom just has to be better. He’s been worse than Smith - that’s not what the Flames are paying him for.
I think next year the Flames really need to play the backup more and keep Markstrom fresher for the playoffs. And if Markstrom stinks in the playoffs they might actually be able to turn to the backup.
It’s early to speculate on this, but I’m wondering how long Markstrom will be able to hold off Wolf. Could be interesting in a couple of years.
