Markstrom has been brutal when the Flames are tied, or leading, or within 1. Vladar has also struggled when leading but steady in all other situations.
When your $6M goalie has an .887 save percentage when the game is within 1 goal youre going to struggle. Hes the biggest issue with the team this year and it's not close.

I agree, but to play devil's advocate, it is my understanding that Markstrom's goals save above expected per 60 is only only pretty bad (0.086), and is higher than Vladar's (-0.082).
It would be interesting to see what Wolf's goals save above expected per 60 is in the AHL. I wouldn't doubt it if it's above 0.75, which is huge.
