Last summer fans thought it would take a 1st or multiple 1sts to move the contract. Goalies are unpredictable but I think there was something there with Sutter and Markstrom last year. Pure speculation on my part but I could see Sutter largely blaming Markstrom for that series loss and we heard Toffoli on the podcasts this summer say he would play head games with Marky telling him that Vladar needs to be ready despite the game being scoreless after a period.
Markstrom bouncing back is not surprising to me and he could be a huge reason this team stays in the race all year
