Great idea to find a stop gap goalie who is actually reliable. This could make them quite formidable next year.

That is bad news for the Pacific. Talbot has been underrated and under-appreciated. Watch out for a big bounce back year after his time with Ottawa was riddled with injury.

Has Weekes just really leaned into horrible framing when he makes videos? Not sure if it's on purpose or not. More New York less Weekes is fine by me.

I disagree. Talbot is like a lot of NHL goalies who fluctuate between spectacular and terrible. I expect more of the same that he has produced over his entire career.

Agree to disagree. I liked him as a 1A with us and wanted to re-sign him at half the cap instead of signing Markstrom. But I am sure I am in the minority with that.

He won't carry them to the promised land by any means but he's a good stop gap for a developing team

Good signing. Low risk at 1 year (seeing as he is 35 now), low dollars.

He has been remarkably consistent. .914 career sv% with only 2 down years - 2018-19 in his last year in Edm and then a few games in Philly, then last year when he was with a frankly bad Sens team and the other two goalies were also hovering around .900
