I think it indicates that Treliving has a pretty high opinion of Vladar's upside. To that point, I think Vladar is good back-up with possibly starter potential. You're right though that it doesn't make sense to pay that much for a back-up if you aren't grooming them to take over the net, and Markstrom is still clearly the guy.
