Good for Talbot. While he's had a small sample size, you have to think his agent and him looked at the trend that seems to happen to goaltenders who play for the oilers (they either leave for greener pastures, or are out of the NHL) and pressed real hard for this kind of money. To me the numbers he has put up are pretty remarkable considering who playing in front of him.

Good on him for cashing in.
