Most of them are going to be hall of famers. He had them in there peak years to boot. Markstom isn't near any of them IMO so that leash should be shorter.
If anything Sutter should learn his lesson again like with Kippersauf. He had Kippersauf as a backup in San jose
Before he came to Calgary . He gave him the reigns about the same age Vladar is now after turek kept ####ting the proverbial bed at Markstoms age.
I Don't know what it is but if you check this list out Calgary loves 30+ age goalies to be starters. Alot of starters 8n the last 20 years or so don't come to the Flames till 30years old. A shocking amount are 33 years +

Kippersauf?
Repeatedly?
That’s gotta be worth a trip to the penalty box
