Yeesh, I thought for sure they would keep Scrivens around just as a layer of security in case Talbot isn't ready for a spot at the starter. So instead of throwing in Tablot into the wolves it would have been more of a 1A/1B situation like in Calgary.
Now they're going to try and start Talbot in 60-65 games this year, for a guy who's only been in the league two years and only came in for relief duty last year when Lundqvist was hurt. Granted he looked good, but that was in front of a stacked defensive core, and often goalies that look good in relief never pan out... just like Scrivens covering for Quick's injury woes a few years ago. I honestly foresee the same thing happening once again.
