Dan Vladar and his advanced stats
The eye test has shown he is a below average goalie in a lot of situations. He seems to do good on plays up close or where fast reflexes are needed but his positioning has been bad for 2 years now imo. The advanced stats have also shown that.
He is 91st of 93rd this year in goals saved above expected.
He was 95th of 107th last season for goals saved above expected.
For save % saved above expected he is dead last 74/74 for any goalie who has played at least 7 games.
I think he is skilled and has the tools but can't seem to put it together.
What should be the plan for next season goaltending wise?
Are we really going to trade Markstrom and go with Vladar starting probably at least half the games? He isn't even a capable backup right now.
