Talbot can want to be the #1 but his best hope is he finds a platoon situation. No one is going to tap him to be the undisputed #1.
So in many ways Calgary remains the best fit for him given the state of goaltending.
And he rightly probably deserves a raise and some term.
But I would not go longer than 2 years with him.
He isn't going to find a landing spot where a team commits to him as their #1 and/or offers him a long-term deal.
He can want those things. But they aren't things that are going to happen.
