If you go through the list of Vezina Trophy nominees, you’ll see a lot of goalies that are like Markstrom- Cechmanek, Mason, Carrey. Brian Elliott finished 5th one year, and I think Mike Smith showed up in voting a few times…

Markstroms save percentages since 2016:

.915
.910
.912
.912
.918
.904
.922
.892

That’s pretty solid considering he hasn’t played on too many good teams. He’s really only been a bonafide number 1 for 6 seasons and honestly, last year was his only poor season.

Your argument is baloney. It’s 5 good seasons in 6 years. Not 3 out of 15 lol.
