Player Discussion Cam Talbot (G)

[bicboi64]

If Talbot keeps up his play for the rest of his starts (save percentage about .915), I wonder what extension we'd offer him. Only way we trade him is if we're out of it before the deadline.

Wonder if he'll want a two year deal for some security, or will be fine with 1 year. I hope a 1 year $3 million deal can get er done. Its low risk enough if he ends up declining, but its not too much of a paycut from his current cap hit of $3.66 million.

Do people now agree that Talbot is the clear #1 goalie for this team?

I think im back to 'cant decide'. When Forsberg came here i thought of him as a stop gap but over time, he has given me confidence in his play. And so i had been leaning towards him as the starter. But Talbot has more pedigree and has looked. good at times and so i am back to win and you're in lol. Surely neither can Clearly be #1 yet?

Nope. Third game this season he just didn't show up.

 

[Larionov]

The difference between good and great goalies is consistency. The problem with Talbot is that, even when he's going well, he gives you a stinker about every 3 to 4 games. That just kills you. Truly great goalies only give you one of those once or twice a year, not once every week to ten days.

 

[Ice-Tray]

We might need to be quicker at pulling Talbot…

You think Forsberg is better? Talbot was an all-star last yr & has played some great games. That was a stinker last night but he didn't get much help either. At some point they need to find a #1 goalie or the team improves dramatically defensively.

i dont think either is a #1

Could be the team in front of them too that needs to improve defensively & play more consistently.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Both Talbot and Forsberg have been prone to letting in some stinkers, often at just the wrong time. Hard to feel confident with either unless it’s P3 of a solid outing in P1 and P2. One of them needs to solidify as a consistent starter soon, or we have no chance of climbing a steep hill back to contention this year.

That'll be embarrassing if Ryan Reynolds doesn't end up involved in ownership

Imagine if he buys the Leafs instead!

Not really. Cool mask one way or another.

It's not like it's got Reynolds' actual face on it.

Will be about as useless as my Dominik Hasek Senators jersey.

Ah but the memories. Might be a collector's item as well.

Yes, short lived unfortunately, but they are definitely memories!

It can remain part of my obscure jersey collection stored away.

 

[Crosside]

Reynolds answer to this. Jacques Plante would be proud of this

We're all going to meme this into reality.

It WILL happen.

Id offer him 2 years 4 million total. Its good security for him. If they settle at 4.5 then great.

I thought the mask was just and ode to the two beauties who have been dressing up as senator deadpool guys sitting on the glass.......

 

[Hale The Villain]

Bruce says Talbot wants to stay.

We should definitely re-sign him if he's open to it. Would be the perfect 1A/1B starter to pair with Forsberg and the perfect bridge goalie until Sogaard is ready.

 

[aragorn]

I bet they sign Talbot before DeBrincat just to get a better picture on what $ they will have left.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Talbot is good enough and steady enough to keep this team in games and get us a playoff berth and maybe win a round or two. That is sufficient for the time being.
