Talbot has had some mental struggles. Being a goalie has a lot to do with your mental state. Goals on the first shot are a problem and his PK work is a problem (this is a also a team problem but Talbot isn't helping).
A lot of different factors can affect a goalie's state of mind. Maybe he's not comfortable in the smaller equipment. Maybe he's not getting enough sleep at home.
We should also consider the possibility that he's not starter quality. Really good goalies can survive even when they're not at their best. It seems that Talbot needs to be dialed in just to be a passing starting goalie.
His SV% in the NHL has dropped almost every single year and he's over 30. Some guys don't age well. He may be re-entering the back-up stage of his career. I'm not giving up on him and he could have another 5 years in him (some goalies can last a long time). But if I'm GM, I am not relying on Talbot as a long-term option. He needs a 1B goalie at the least.
Koskinen has looked just OK to me. He has made some strong saves, but he still looks awkward to me (not a great skater) and I think he's more of a back-up than a starter. Anders Nilsson is a good comparable for him. Good at times but not really starter material. And that's OK. We wanted him to be a solid back-up and he's been providing it.
