Re: Cam Talbot
73 starts is likely a little higher than the Oilers wanted last year. It was based on a few things. First, the backup to start the season was Gustavsson, he played brutal early on and the coach lost all faith in him choosing to ride Talbot. Second, once Gustavsson was gone the backup was Brossoit who was better in limited action but still doesn't have enough of a track record to be trusted. Third, coming down the stretch the Oilers were battling for a playoff spot which meant every game was huge, no confidence in any other option meant Talbot got all the starts.
This year Brossoit will start with the Oilers and the team will want to get him a few more starts. I'm anticipating 67 starts for Talbot and 41 wins.
