Keep Holtby. Trade Talbot for the good return.
I can only keep 1 of Holtby or Talbot at the end of the season. I'm thinking I could trade Holtby for a great return. Is Talbot that much of a downgrade from Holtby?

In any scenario like this it definitely depends on the return but in a vacuum I'd rather Holtby

Experience is the teacher of all things.
You have a variety of interesting dilemmas to deal with here.
- very few keepers
- so the draft will have some GREAT players
- stockpiling draft picks will be a significant advantage to winning next year
- failure to make moves early will mean you are not taking advantage of your higher status (bad to give away Talbot's & Max Pac's & etc.)
- only 10 goalies protected, so it may be tougher than people think to trade Talbot
- Holtby is only 27 years old and on a proven contender
- Edmonton is clearly rising, but to playoff team or contender? How much do you believe in Edmonton?
I'm more inclined to trade Letang's or some of my keeper forwards to build draft picks. I think I would try to trade Talbot for bit, before considering Holtby.
