Few expected the Tampa Bay Lightning to crack in the playoffs the way they did but little of that was the fault of Andrei Vasilevskiy. The Russian goalie won his first Vezina Trophy this year and led the league again in wins. Yes, wins and goals-against average categories have been overrated but his consistency is not.
Vasilevskiy played just 53 games for the Lightning after starting 65 the season before. While his playoff numbers were not good, his body of work the past 2+ seasons was enough to warrant a huge extension.
Now, the bigger question arises.
