Vladar hasn't really been as bad as some like to make it out be. Save percentage doesn't always tell the story. It wouldn't have mattered who was in net last week against the Lightning.

That's fine if we want to count that year, but there's a chasm between having Khudobin and Vladar as your tandem partner. Both in results that year and results over their careers.
Every stat says he's been significantly worse. Wolf has a 7.42 GSAA (8th in the league) vs Vladar's -5.28 GSAA (63rd in the league). Which is basically on pace for the type of GSAA numbers Vladar has had the past two season. He's a mediocre backup.
