The Edmonton Oilers snatched up the most sought after goaltender on the trade market at the 2015 NHL Draft by acquiring Cam Talbot from the New York Rangers.
Talbot is a terrific goaltender with a very impressive resume to boot. After two seasons with the Rangers, he has shown that he is ready to take a major step forward towards a starting role in net.
The original asking price involved a first round pick for Talbot, but Peter Chiarelli was patient enough and cunningly out-waited the legendary Glen Sather to drive the price down.
