That’s fine. Many people here would say that.
Both goalies have over 300 games played. Talbot has a career .915 sv% to Markstrom’s .910
I didn't use the phrase ‘a wash’. I said I didn’t view it as an upgrade.
Markstrom in, Talbot out was, then, at best a wash. You can make the case it was a downgrade, based on both career stats and last season
Or not
And also Markstrom costs 6 vs 3.66
