But is it fair to compare a $6mil starting goalie to backups? If we compare him to starters he is in the last 1/6th of the league.
To me 25 teams are getting better goaltending from their starter than the Flames, which seems below average to me.

I've always seen the league as 1/3 with great starters, 1/3 with good starters, a mush middle of 20 goalies that are weak starter or backups, then two tiers of backups.
I'd say Markstrom is in that bottom 1/3 of starters right now for sure, which I see as average ... you don't have to though.
I think if the average goalie has an expected rate of x, and you're right at zero you're pretty much the average goalie.
The stat isn't listed as the average starter.
