Burns vs. Talbot
Would Burns be an overall upgrade for my team in place of Talbot? League parameters in sig.

Re: Burns vs. Talbot
I think I'd hold the awesome goalie tandem of Holtby and Talbot that you can start with confidence every night.
I had to pause for a few minutes because D is your leagues deepest position with 5 starters so burns is gold with that format. But I also think San Jose takes a step back this season (burns will still be awesome, just not as awesome).
Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2
Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO
Forwards:
C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund
Defense:
B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin
Goalie:
J. Binnington

Re: Burns vs. Talbot
Burns offers a ton of value above replacement at your deepest position. And I wonder if with your games-played limits you couldn't get more out of an elite defenseman than an elite goaltender.
Basically, if I can play Burns for 82 awesome games and then cherry pick starts from good backups and the Darling/Elliott duo to max out your goalie games then I might go that direction. I suppose it depends on how many moves you can make. Is cherry-picking backup starts even possible?
Re: Burns vs. Talbot
Yes, cherry picking starts is an option. I have 164 total starts to distribute across my goalies however I see fit.

Re: Burns vs. Talbot
I'd be awfully tempted to go that direction although that's going to require a lot more time investment/micro-managing. Also Talbot is clearly a better keeper option than Burns. Would also be interesting to see what you can get for an upgrade at forward if you move one of Jones/Provorov.
