Um... no. We don't need Binnington, we already have Wallstedt and Kahkonen for our future 1a/1b tandem needs. By the time Talbot's contract is up Wallstedt should be close to at least being ready for a backup spot, if he isn't then a cheap stop-gap could be signed instead.

Furthermore, Talbot is just plain cheaper, kinda important for a team that's going to have 14'ish million in dead cap the next few years.
