I'd actually be feeling really confident in this signing had he also not looked pretty terrible with the Flyers. Still seems like a good gamble to me though.

I think Gillies play spelled the end of Gillies with the Flames. I think Talbot plays well for us.I hope Rittich is solid enough at the beginning of the season that we can ease Talbot in and rebuild his confidence.
This signing now essentially spells the end of Gillies with the Flames

If the Flames sign Talbot I'll be surprised that Treliving couldn't do better. Hope I'm wrong.

Talbot just doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me and there are obviously goalies out there that have played better in recent years that are currently available.Better how?
Brobrovsky is the only sure fire better FA and he is out of our price range and has zero interest coming here. I guess Varlamov would be considered better by many but likely way to expensive as well. Then you get to the other guys McElhinney, Mrazek, Smith, Neuvirth, Johnson none of them are any better than Talbot.
Maybe there is a trade out there but I don't see it. Allen I guess might be better but I think that is a mabye at best.
I think you still have to see what you have in Rittich as that is our best chance to get a legit starter. We don't really have the cap space or extra assets to get a proven top level guy and I am not sure there is one out there. I think the time to make a big goalie move is next off-season when you can be more sure whether Rittich can cut it or not.

get outta here budNo surprise with Smith given that Tippett is the coach.

No surprise with Smith given that Tippett is the coach.
Why? He’s not acting malignantly, so what’s the issue?
I think a lot of the downturn in his numbers make sense though.
In 2013-14 he was a par time back-up so a much different prospect from when he moved to being a full time starter. Then he had a bad year when the Oilers were a tire fire from 2017-19.
I don't think he will be a .920 starter level goalie but I also don't think he will be a sub-.900 guy either. I am hoping he can be right around .910 and be a decent 30 game back-up for us.
He is not an ideal option for us but considering who is available, our cap situation and us still needing to figure out what Rittich is I am not sure there was a definite better option, many other guys might have been as good but I don't see a better option that fits into our cap.
