No one is a guaranteed solution at any position.
You pay for the safest bet. Who is a safer bet in net than Markstrom right now? I'll wait. Most of the handful of contenders for that honour this season he has played and beaten head to head, including Swayman and Vasilevskiy tonight.
He's led the league in saves above expected since before the midway mark of the season.
If some Devils fan think he's just another option and the Devils can find a comparable upgrade laying around anywhere, then he's an idiot and fooling himself.
Devils are welcome to go and fetch that guy for the pennies this guy thinks they're worth. They'll be back.
