RIP, Jimmy.
All the more reason that a team needing a 1B goaltender or backup would be willing to trade for Talbot and potentially look to resign him long term.
What to do with Cam Talbot...

What team? Teams that are contenders going into the deadline are not taking a backup goalie and teams that aren't won't want him without an extension. 1B? By the deadline teams are either split on duties (and even then they're aren't many of those teams anyway) or they have their goaltending sorted for the playoffs. There's not going to be a market for a backup who turns UFA.
No.
You might get a 1-2 year extension max MAYBE, but he needs and deserves starter's minutes. That's why ultimately he is out of here, unless something happens to Henrik.
We cannot afford to squander resources.
We just drafted multiple Gs for down the road.
We can cover ourselves w/Hank plus in the short term.
We should try for a 2 year extender, which would not impact current cap. Add to that no no trade clause, but if he is traded he gets some $$$,
If someone will overpay, or if he is a key add to get a premium guy here, then we move him. Otherwise we rely on our 1-2 year extension short term.
But if for any reason he says thanks, but I need the bucks and I'm entitled to be UFA and plans to go, we need to move him at the first best opportunity --- some team has an injury or a team that would consider making him a starter wants to test him firsthand and have inside track on enticing him; and would pay for the benefit.

Contending teams with crappy goaltending or an injured starter will EASILY take a chance on cambot as a starter if he puts up numbers remotely close to last year
If if if. The majority of contending teams don't have goalie issues, and they certainly wouldn't be pining their playoff hopes on a backup. Easily? The furthest thing from it.
It's a rare occurrence you're banking on that really isn't likely to happen.
To further this issue, what is it exactly you think teams are going to give up for a backup? A first? A top prospect? Young roster player? I cab pretty much guarantee you it will be none of these things.

But the point is, that the teams thinks Talbot is good enough to be the starter. And a very good one at that.

Absolutely easily, the Rangers will need to shop him at the deadline. The only if is "If" there's no demand, there's no demand. But for teams with a shaky goalie or injured goalie they will be able offer a high pick or prospect for that quality rental which we are 100% losing for nothing at the end of the year if he puts up the same numbers
He's going to be a UFA why is a team trading assets for him? He's a backup right now with a good season of being a backup.
Pick a team. Give me an example. It's not hard there's only 29 of them.

It's not rare that a few goalies go down to injury or some guys just are not as good as their teams had hoped. If a team believes he could help them in net there would be a market for him, not that I think we would get anything great for him alone in a trade.
Maybe a late 2nd or 3rd rounder or a decent prospect a team has soured on.

First, you hope he can keep up what he did last season. That is so sure thing. We've seen backup goalies have great years only to come crashing down the following season. Vali, Biron. Granted Vali had a track record of not being that good and Biron was old.
You hope he can repeat last year and then he will walk via UFA. Hes not going to resign at a rate we can afford to carry Hank's pads.
Only way he is a Ranger beyond next season is if he gets injured or as a poor season.

there's 30 teams in the league, that would mean 29.7 teams fill from within. I guess no one told the 0.7 of that last team that 0.3 went ahead and traded for a goalie

You still haven't answered my previous question. Not unexpected.

that's ok, because 29.7 teams fill vacancies from within
maybe you were sleeping last year when Luongo, Miller, Bryzgalov, Halak, Fasth, and Markstrom were traded. There's always teams who need to trade for goaltending, and this year Cambot may well be up there in terms of available talent. Rangers will have to shop him to see what we can get back otherwise he's just gonna walk for nothing

Barring something that shall not be spoken, Talbot isn't going to raise his value enough to make a trade worthwhile.
Rather keep him as a solid backup all season than to move him for a 4th rounder or average prospect.

1)Cam Talbot's name doesn't belong anywhere near those
2)That was LAST YEAR
3)Still haven't answered my question

1) False
2) No that's going to be every year
3) You didn't ask anything worth answering
next question!
False? Luongo, Halak, Miller, Bryz were all vet NHL starters. Markstrom was traded for Luongo and is a highly touted goaltending prospect. Fasth has been playing pro for 4 years.
I did ask something worth answering. You just can't answer it because it breaks everything you're trying to argue for apart.

Markstrom is as much a prospect as Talbot at this point.
....
Markstrom has had a value attached to him. He also has more than double the amount of NHL games Talbot has played. He was also traded FOR another goaltender.
Fast hasn't been playing pro for 4 years? Fail to see what's funny. More than likely you couldn't actually come up with any good arguments or even answer my question so you just resorted to what is described on this site a spam.
You, as well, have no answer to the question. Not surprised at all.
