And if you point to last "year"...i will leave you with this.
From Feb 1 to seasons end
Markstrom was .891 and 2.99
V;adar was .852 and 3.34
Neither was great, but to claim what you are is....as usual...absurd.

What was the stat line before Feb 1st though ?
Extrapolating stats is always a dangerous game and often can be manipulated to prove a point. Season is long and I understand where you are coming from but it is pretty safe to view them both from an entire seasons stand point. Vladar started the season significantly better than Markstrom and Markstrom ended the season better than Vladar.
I am completely neutral in this but last season I had a lot more faith in the team winning with Vladar than what I did with Markstrom. Felt like most nights the team was deflated with Markstrom in net.
If it were easy to do (salary implications make it almost impossible) I would look to move Markstrom before I move Vladar.
Vladar is younger, cheaper and seems to be about par today with Markstrom.
I would also without a question of a doubt have Wolf penciled in as the backup.
