Yeah thats a shortsighted comment.
Given the market and the flames cap situation, getting Talbot is a very savvy move. Rittich might even be ready soon so it might not matter at all. You just needed a younger goalie with upside at a reasonable price to push BSD and that's exactly Talbot. They'd have to spend more than they could to get Lehner, so by that logic they couldn't "win" anyway.
Don't know why these analysts constantly think the flames need to sign a big name savior to fix their goaltending. They have a guy emerging as we speak, who was good enough to support a first place season. It's not as dire as these guys seem to think.
