No guarantees, but a lighter regular season workload might lead to more playoff success. And Vladar is an awesome backup. Could easily do 30 games.

The last 3 games of the regular season where he played was April 18, 21 and 28. May 3 was the first playoff game.
He played 4 games in 16 days, with basically a week break in between. He was sufficiently rested.
Overwork during the regular season wasn't the reason he was the "weak link" during the playoffs. Maybe he just didn't play well. Hopefully he's better this year.
