Most goalies don’t age well. Fleury did play decently in Chi.
I don’t think Markstrom will be a top 10 goalie over the next 2 years. He’s paid like a top 10 goalie. Which of these goalies would you take 35 and 36 year old Markstrom over?
Saros, Ullmark, Swayman, Askarov, Shesty, Vasy, Sorokin, Adin Hill, Logan Thompson, Hellebuyuck, Demko, Binner, Ingram, 6K, Jarry, Georgiev, Montembault, Pyotr.
Goalie risk premium, age risk premium, and cap space risk premium all do not help his value. Especially in the offseason.
Give me Markstrom easily over, Binner, Thompson, Jarry, Hill, whoever 6K is. Argument could be made for Askarov (he's yound and would most likely not be great the next 2yrs), Monty, Georgiev, Ullmark and Kochetkov
The others are better 100%
Luongo, Brodeur, Rinne, Hasek, Lundqvist, Kiprusoff, etc all played well into age 36 it's not old for goalies especially ones that have won Vezinas Bobrovsky is 36 right now and playing better than his last 2 yrs
