Seems much better than
Markstrom $ 6 mill (90.3%)
Talbot heavily outperformed Rittich, Rittich (barely) outperformed Markstrom.
And this disregards the fact that Markstrom has much longer term.
However, Talbot + Toffoli does cost about $2 mill more so that takes space away from a Tanev signing.
Either way, I think the priority should have been signing guys like Mangiapane and Dube to really long contracts.
The actual core of the team is insufficient, regardless of even major FA signings.
