Since he was acquired by the Oilers Talbot has played far and away more regular season minutes than any other goalie by a country mile with 11,844:25. The next closest in this three-year sample is Devan Dubnyk, who has played 227 fewer minutes.
Devan Dubnyk?
Man, can you imagine if the Oilers had a workhorse like that guy (Currently 5th in save%, a full 0.033 and 21 spots ahead of Talbot)?

I mean, it wouldn't solve all of their problems, but probably good for another win or two.

But who am I kidding, where could the Oilers ever get a guy like Dubnyk?
Might as well be wishing they had a guy like Taylor Hall while I'm at it.
