He ‘was’…it’s also entirely possible that second half last year was as much a sign he’s washed as it was Calgary selling off
This could be very true. But a 'proven' goaltender doesnt mean they may or may not be washed; it means they've proven to be a starter before

If they had said we keep getting over-the-hill starters and washed-up backups, then I would have agreed lol

Yup. We were in a position where we basically had to bet on him bouncing back and I also figured he would. He’s still just a ghost offensively though
There's still time and I've been encouraged by his last few games, but if he doesn't get going this year we aren't doing crap.

I whole-heartedly disagree with that lol. If Jacob Markstrom isnt a proven goalie than 20+ teams may as well not bother icing anyone in the net
his sv% last two seasons: .890 and .904 that's average to bellow average. His career has been pretty inconsistent to say the least. he's a nhler for sure, but not a very good one... he can have some great season between mediocre ones... we could very well be getting his mediocre self this season then a good/average one next year

I do think he’s at least had some better chances but 8 shots over the past 5 games while averaging over 18 minutes simply doesn’t cut it.
