I'm gonna throw another goalie at you Jacob Markstrom. Would you would you do it? He has
0:04
a full no move clause. So I don't know if that's ends up working out. But would you
0:07
would you go for Dayton? I think he's riskier than Elmark. He's more expensive than Elmark if I remember correctly
0:19
I don't again like I don't oppose doing the Elmark I'm not against getting a Markstrom
0:26
I think there's other issues like going back to Talbot. He was fine in Minnesota, right
0:31
He played 3349 games. And he was a 915 911 goalie. Was he that good? Really? Yes, I remember
0:39
him just being like a 906. Kind of that's, that's where my mind was that with the flames
0:43
a year before that he was a 919. He's a very consistent goalie until he arrived in Ottawa
0:49
Okay. There was a year with Edmonton and Philly that he split that was not great. But going
0:56
back he was pretty much consistently putting up a 910 920 save percentage with whoever
1:01
he played with. And then Ottawa somehow that falls apart. So is it Talbot's fault? No
1:11
I think you can make it all with there. So Corpus Allo had some really good looks in Columbus had some really good looks in
1:21
LA. And of course, I do agree he was riskier. But yeah, also just fell off the map. I think
1:31
if that's the only significant move the senators make, they've made a mistake
1:36
Fair enough. And now based on what you just kind of came back at me with, I don't think
1:41
I can disagree. I would have disagreed four minutes ago. But I Yeah, I think so. And another
1:49
name to kind of keep an eye on might be Freddie Anderson. I don't know what his availability
1:52
is going to be like. But there's a couple goalies to look at. But Dayton, you don't think that they need to go tender? Paul, what do you think about Markstrom or Freddie Anderson
2:01
Well, just listening to Dayton, he's a convincing guy. I mean, now I'm on. And you know, I think
2:10
Dayton's kind of in Steve Stamos camp. I think it's Stamos said, Look, these guys aren't
2:16
as bad as their numbers say they are. So there are other issues. Defense in particular
2:25
So you know, Markstrom? Hmm, I don't know, get a little long in the tooth. I think you
2:32
need to have an eye on on the future there. And I don't think he's the future anywhere
