ALT Infographic in Detroit Red Wings red and white titled “Good or bad? Detroit’s last three goalies. Look at the data.” Three cards compare the goalies. Cam Talbot: age 39, 81 Detroit games, 77 points, 0.95 points per game, .883 save percentage in 2025-26, $2.5M cap hit, signed as a free agent, cost per point $32,072. John Gibson: age 33, 67 games, 71 points, 1.06 per game, .901 save percentage, $6.4M cap hit, acquired by trade, cost per point $73,652. Daniil Tarasov: age 27, 5 games, 6 points, 1.20 per game, .895 save percentage (with Florida), $2.0M cap hit, signed, cost per point $20,325. Summary: Talbot delivered points at less than half Gibson’s cost; Gibson earns more per game and had the better save percentage; Tarasov looks cheaper still but from just five games. Context: Gibson’s trade cost Petr Mrazek, a 2026 4th and a 2027 2nd, and all three were Steve Yzerman’s moves. Cost per point is an 82-game equivalent. Data checked 3 Nov 2026.
