I'm biased as I see more Markstom than other teams living in Vancouver, but I completely agree.

I don't think some fans realize just how good he is. Top 3 in the league most likely, top 5 for sure. We haven't had a goalie even close to this level since Kipper.

6x6 is fine for a big ticket #1 FA. And a goalie too boot. Good days.

"Perfect" maybe not. But anything less and you don't get the deal done. I think it's worth it to get 3-4 years of good goaltending for this core before it's too late

So Markstrom - Rittich tandem? Absolutely need 2 goalies to win games to get into playoffs and beyond (look at Khudobin).

I don't put as much stock in the 'true #1 goalie' line of thinking. I want good play out of the position - good consistent play out of the position, no drop off when other goalie comes in.

No, he isn't. But the cap has significantly increased since Kipper signed that contract. I don't think its a fair comparison.

But he wasn't.

GMs, traditional statistics, advanced statistics, nothing had Markstrom as the best goalie in the league last season.

He was top 5 for sure, I'll give you that.

But him being the best goalie is your opinion and is in no way a fact.

Honestly, if Markstrom played out east and got viewed more, he's probably 2nd/3rd in Vezina votes last year.

Top5 goalie in the leauge

I just don't really care about one shortened season.
It's simply not enough to work off of in terms of a long term contract.

I think and hope that Markstrom may very well have another great season.
But age and term are what I hate. It'll probably be good for two years, and then turn into an albatross.

And a bunch of those guys were signed when the cap was lower, so a bigger % of the team hit.

Not sold on Markström as a starter. At least he has six years to prove me wrong.

Swing for the fences Brad. Too bad there weren’t any better options out there.

Monahan is 1C in name only. He brings nothing to the team. His best contribution is to take the faceoff and skate to the bench.
