nothing to see here, move along...

pricey back up

Affordable stop gap starter.

Except, he's the starter. Anytime you have your starting goaltender signed for under $4m aav, that's a win.

Meh, sideways deal from Dubnyk, but at least he comes a little cheaper

Sideways? Dubnyk was the worst goaltender in the league!

Talbot is better than Stalock who was far better than Dubnyk.

Now if you're referring to Dubnyk of 3-4 years ago? Then yes.

My condolences to the Wild organization.

Yeah, only got two top 5 Vezina seasons out of the last Oiler goalie we grabbed for nothing

Talbot sucks. Mentally weak. Doesn’t fill enough of the net. Low battle level. Can’t seem to start games sharp.

Sounds like Dubnyk in his best seasons behind our elite defense.

We've said it for years and it still stands true. With our defense, we only need avg goaltending... we didn't have that last season. We will this one.

Now if we can only find the goalscoring we've perpetually needed.

If your D is still good then that will help any goalie.

#1 in the NHL in xGA. I'd call that pretty good.

Goaltenders have it easy here. They just made Stalock look serviceable as a starter last season. Yet, Stalock is only a borderline NHL/AHL player. Very low quality backup.
