If the average is below 3.5, it sets the team up nicely going forward. Between Nilsson and Brossoit, you likely won't have you're backup making more than 1.5 for the next few years too.
5 millions for consistent goal tending with upside. Not bad Pete.
For comparisons sake
This year's duo is costing 0.135 more than just Scrivens alone; 3 million cheaper than last year duo.
Moving forward, the any combination of Talbot and Nilsson/Brossoit will be cheaper than the 5.2 spend for the league's worst tandem last season.
