I was actually surprised to see that Talbot is 27 years old and turning 28 on July 5th. At that age, and less than 65 games in the NHL, I don't think I'd want to spend more than a single 2nd round pick on him.

Back when the Flames got Kiprusoff the UFA age was set at 31 although about to change. So you could better justify giving up a 2nd round pick from a 9 round draft on a 27 year old goaltender. Now....that's a lot tougher to do.
