If Cam Talbot doesn't end up in Dallas, there's another goalie that could serve the same purpose for an even better price
The NHL draft is this week, and there are are bound to be some eye-popping things happening either before or during the proceedings. Some teams have extra picks to use as leverage, and other teams have position logjams that make the draft an ideal place to make a trade that also replenishes their system. The Islanders would be happy just to get one of the first 71 picks.
In the wake of speculation about which teams are willing to do what, you have Cam Talbot, the young and capable Lundqvist backup with 59 games of NHL experience and one more year left on his current deal.
