Quoting: Wqrrior
Goalies win cups. Very few teams that go all the way will look at their net and see an average goalie.
Therefore, I am on the Bring Markstrom back group. I don't think any of the three you mentioned are cup winning goalies. VAN is transitioning out of the rebuild into competition again.
However, I'm open to him being the Seattle claim. That way Demko will have more of an opportunity the year after. He simply is not ready for more responsibility yet.
Markstrom's (and Anton) are very late-bloomers. Marky w/ a career .911 sv %-age, a losing NHL record, IS NOT the CUP guy either, and will not be claimed if US$5/6Mil is the contract that's floated by many ACGMs!!
