While I think many agree, the problem is that Markstrom would be more difficult to move.
33 years old, makes 6 mill, complete NMC, only had 89.2%, still has 3 years left, 3.1 goals saved below expected. Even in his "Vezina finalist" season, he was only 12th in goals saved above expected. He should not have been anywhere near the Vezina conversation IMO. Not with with him being that average in the most important and all encompassing goaltending metric.
Vladar, who is younger, and has 2 years at 2.2 mill, and had a higher save percentage, is much easier to move. Though I honestly don't think he has value either. He just doesn't have astronomic negative value like Markstrom does.
