How Good is Cam Talbot?

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.
