Possibly the best goalie we’ve had since Howard. Tops almost all of our goalies stats in the last five years, except Ned’s short year in Carolina.
4/5yr Avg is 5 years for everyone but Husso, who’s only played 4 seasons.

Great breakdown. Hoping he plays a decent role in next year’s team & success.

Also of note: he played behind some really good defensive teams.
Not sure he has that here.

But the internet people said this was one of the worst deals ever

Caveat – he played for teams with better defense, and he is soon 37.
So more or less he might be better than Reimer.

People trying to spin this that Talbot is going to carry us into the playoffs are dreaming.

Talbot is a solid back-up, 30/70 split game kind of guy. But I will say, he would have given us a better chance to make the playoffs than Reimer, so it’s an upgrade in the position.
