That's fair.Terrible situation for the player and team. Especially with all the rhetoric to start the year about this season being a reset, and THIS is the result?
Going to be a very painful going forward. Can’t imagine it rubs well for anyone.
Hes been okay this season? Doesn’t really matter since the team all around has fallen off, so even if he was better we probably aren’t a contender anyways. And I mean there’s mostly upward room from what was a disaster 2022-23 season. Otherwise his stats speak for themselves, 904sv% and 2.75GAA, and that’s about what he’s provided for the duration of his contract. If you had told ppl at the start of that deal he was going to give us 904 goaltending through it the first 4 seasons of the contract, I think the response would’ve been mild disappointment.
As I said, with goalies playing a minimum of 20+ games, Markstrom would rank 13-15th in sv% (stats went down this game). Without the 20 minimum games requirement, he's 31st in sv%
Digging in a bit deeper, he ranks 17th in high danger unblocked shot attempt sv%.
10th in medium danger unblocked shot attempt sv%
39th in low danger unblocked shot attempt sv%..
All those stats with goalies that have played at least 10 games
Which again, corresponds with what I see. He's making a lot of big stops. Personally? I think he's a bit better than his current sv% would indicate, and I've been saying that since the start of the season when at one point his sv% was below .900.
