When you get your goalie from a "defensive" team, it's more of a gamble, as you don't know how they will react to a tougher work - Talbot seems to be OK, Elliott not so much. Maybe Reimer was the guy to get.
Granted this was early in the season but Steinberg had some thoughts on inflated performance stats playing for St. Louis. I'd be interesting to see how this looks now.
