This is my take: i think Markstrom's going to be ok. I think he's a nice guy who was genuinely happy for Vladar's early success (you can't fake that), but lost confidence. Now that Vladar has shown he's not ready to be #1, Markstrom knows he's needed, and has the green light (from Sutter, and in his mind) to take the net back and play out of his mind.
