We’ve been asking for a trade for weeks, and all we got was a corpse of one. That, and other things ahead.
Who has the comeback season? Talbot? Or Smith?

Homerism aside, I have to say Cam Talbot. He’s younger, hasn’t picked up nearly as many injuries, and has had less miles on his career than Forever A Flame Mike Smith. Team quality matters too. In both Edmonton and Philly, Talbot was thrown to the dogs behind some unspectacular defences on all around unspectacular teams and was told to fix it.
