<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McSorley</b></div><div>Highly doubt Talbot can keep it up next year so who are you targeting? Hart is the only other option IMO.

I don't see Spencer or Kaliyev in the long term outlook so why not use them to acquire a top 5 goalie?</div></div>

Spence is criminally underrated with what he has brought this season, the guy can't miss a pass and I think there is an offensive gear here we haven't seen, our third pair looks incredible and I think it's more him than Englund. Kaliev's time to sell is coming soon, we need to get him to breakout offensively and use him and Bjornfot as the trade pieces for a struggling top prospect goalie who we can protect behind a veteran goalie. I wouldn't be upset about 3x1 for Talbot next season, and I think he'd go for it. My biggest concern in playing Spence and Clarke is we lose what Englund has brought in physicality. I don't know a bout you, but I've been seeing physicality from several players this season and LA has their long-term tough guys coming: Helenius and Ziemmer will bring the eventual physicality we've enjoyed from Englund.

I see our lineup as something like:

Byfield-Kopi-Kempe
Moore-Danault-Fiala
Grundstrom-PLD-Laferierre
Kaliyev-Lizzote-Turcotte
----
Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov-Clarke
Spence-Roy

Although if we can't reup Roy, Martinez-Spence could be impressive.

As far as why I'm not feeling Saros, he's 28 and in his best play window now, but for goalies they can fall out of that quick. I think let's just offer no more than 2-3 year contracts until Portillo and other prospects can be made ready.
