I was surprised by this. Makes me rethink my initial thoughts. Definitely more digging needed.
I was only comparing the two, but when you go league wide, Vladar is better than I was thinking and consistently falls in most stats amongst the top 30 goalies in the league at even strength.

The main thing about Vladar that would attract GMs looking for backup help is that he's experienced. There are guys around with better numbers but as the above shows, numbers are arguable. With Vladar, a team gets a guy who has played all the teams in the NHL, not some prospect who another team can't fit in.
