Makes no sense IMO.
To upgrade goaltending you have to find an above average starter. There are no above average starters available at a reasonable price unless you were convinced Talbot would bounce back. And there’s a chance EDM would not deal Talbot to CGY at a reasonable price.

Also you seem to underrate negative chemistry and locker room dynamics. By all accounts Mike Smith is a popular guy. Waiving him or dealing him and replacing him could have unintended consequences.

So it’s no easy matter to upgrade goaltending. Meanwhile upgrading forward is far less complicated and there’s a lot of available options.
