A survey of players and NHL executives found Markstrom as the 8th best goalie in the NHL. This should be interesting.

Follow the bouncing goalie.
Markstrom was fourth in Vezina voting in 2019-20, his last season in Vancouver before free agency. His first campaign in Calgary? Not so good with a .904 save percentage. But then a full season of Darryl Sutter as head coach led to Markstrom posting an NHL-best nine shutouts to finish second for the Vezina Trophy. This season? Markstrom has a dismal .892 save percentage in 35 games and just 1.5 goals saved above expected.
But he received one vote each for fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh place in our surveys.
One Western Conference executive said Markstrom shouldn't make the cut this year and didn't really impress last season, either. "Markstrom has had a tough year, and would have probably been No. 9 last year, in my opinion," the exec said.
