If you're a team that wants to win and take a step you probably look at Bob now and say "Marktstrom probably isn't too old"

I hope so.
With that said, Markstrom is too old. He's an average starter that has some good years. If Bobrobsky wins the cup, he'll probably put himself in the conversation with names like Hasek, Roy, Dryden, Brodeur etc (HM: Tim Thomas). We're talking about a guy with two vezinas, along with a year where he swept a 62 win team, along with a year where he beat a 65 win team. The guy is a living legend and he hasn't even beat the best team of Connor McDavid's lifetime just yet.
