He certainly has potential to take another step, just as Cooley - and almost every other 26 year old goalie - has. Most won't take that step. But saying they don't have the potential is just being pointlessly negative.
I agree that I'd like to see what he does post injury.

But he's never got a full workload because he never deserved a full work load.

I expect this is Vladar's last year with Calgary.

But as I've said, you just never know about goalies, and they can certainly develop late.

But this is an important year for him, as he'll get his chances.
