I've been following Markstrom since he came over from Europe and started for the Crunch. I've noticed that he's a bit of a slow starter. He was dominant before he had his knee injury and it may have contributed to his slow start with the Phantoms. Also doesn't help that Dov was playing lightsout to start the season which made it hard for Markstrom to get starts. This kid is NHL ready imo, you could say he lacks consistency but I think it's more a fact that he hasn't played for a good team during his minor league career. One of Theo or Clemm will not be back next year.
