Re: Better to Keep Talbot or Schnieder
Wins are as dependent on the team in front of you as they are the goalie.
Schneider is last here. That team is not going up anytime soon.
Right now, I take Talbot. As McDavid, Draisaitl an the other kids get better with age, the team gets better. And they are already quite good. And they seem content to ride Talbot 65-70 games. He currently leads the league in SV's and Games started and is tied for 2nd in wins.
Chicago is good. But they have nowhere to go but down in the next few years.
NJ is already down and not going u again anytime soon barring massive changes. The team absolutely could not afford to lose Larsson, but I would have made that trade for Hall too. But the trickle down on Defense as a whole is staggering, while you can see massive improvement in Edm.
Before this season started, many were calling me crazy for all my posts predicting the changes in Edmonton were finally going to turn it around this year and urging people to think twice before dropping Talbot. but it is happening. Talbot is a top ranked goalie.
