Over the last four years Markstrom had played the 4th most games of any goaltender. He’s one of six guys who have played more than 200 games and sits about even with John Gibson and Freddy Andersen in both SV% and GAA (little bit better than both in GAA, 0.02% worse than Gibson in SV).
4/6 make more than Markstrom, 1 makes less (Andersen). He’s paid the way he’s paid because he’s consistent and gives you a chance to win playing a ton of games. I’m not sure what people expect for $6M. Markstrom is worth the money and does his job.
