Because it's foolish to put all our eggs in one basket.
Even if Vladat were given the net from here on out, at some point, he's probably going to have a few less than stellar games, and having a goalie who is used to a much heavier workload rusting away on the bench isn't going to provide much relief.
I believe it's a pretty different mindset and routine to be a backup vs a starter, and Markstrom (like anyone) would probably face some difficulty transitioning to a backup role (should that happen).
