Oilers' Talbot Expects Battle For Starting Job

Talbot expects to battle for the starting job in training camp, according to the Edmonton Journal.One would think that Talbot is just taking the high road here. Unless he performs miserably in camp he should be the starting goaltender once the season opens. He won't have anywhere near the defense playing in front of him that he had with the Rangers, so there will be off nights, but he's still better and offers much more upside than any other goaltender on the roster.
