Of course, all it takes is for one goalie somewhere in the league to go down with a long-term injury and suddenly a trade partner for Vladar has opened up (or, depending on the goalie who gets hurt, possibly a trade partner for Markstrom).

I really doubt the “plan” is to play three goalies that much. If this team is intent on winning, they need to play their best goalie the majority of games and the next best plays the others. In your scenario Vladar seems to be third string. What is the point of planning to give him 12 games if both of the other guys are outplaying him?
