If he wins it, it probably adds a million to his annual salary.
12 to 13 is not out of the question,

Well yeah but have they won a game that Talbot hasn't started? I find it difficult to give it to McDavid when there's another player on the team that is the deciding factor between wins and losses. If McDavid was the be all end all for the Oilers they should be able to win games with the backup goaltender between the pipes.
For a defenseman to be able to go toe to toe with him in scoring is petty amazing as Burns is doing this without being a train wreck defensively like Karlsson is at times. If Burns keeps it up I feel I would go with him because I feel Talbot is McDavid's equal when it comes to importance to his team.
