Rumor: Cam Talbot expected to be traded after turning down extension with Ottawa

[Kurrilino]

Kings would have to move Quick or Petersen if they would bring another goalie in. They should be going after Korpisalo, not Talbot if they want to bring in another goalie.

There is not a single word or sign that the Kings are looking for another goalie from the management.
We just resigned Copley and we are sitting well.

No reason for those Canadian mud slingers to involve the Kings with any player available on the market

Not sure why Talbot would turn down an extension?
Did he not cry about playing time after the Wild brought in Fluery?

 

[inthewings]

Why was Ottawa even looking to extend him? Dorion absolutely refuses to learn.

 

[SNES]

Dorion saved from himself again ffs

 

[Senor Catface]

Can any goalie stay above .900 with that defence?

What a beaut. Love him.

Because at least he is trying to win. Sure beats the coyotes endless rebuild.

Can't really say this without knowing the numbers. For all we know he offered league minimum for 1yr, or way too much for way too long.

I'd be OK with Talbot back on a bargain deal but otherwise would prefer another option. I'm fine with that bridge being burnt either way

Does a 36-year old mediocre backup help him accomplish that? He should be looking for a high-upside partner for Forsberg.

Ottawa has climbed into the WC race and made the big splash with Chychrun. They holding on to him now?

Probably wasn't a great offer. 35yo with meh stats.
He's better off waiting to see what he gets in the summer.

Probably just as insurance.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

feels bad man
we only moved our goalie of the future for him. why dorion why

Never understood that move. As a fan of Gus and being mad we saw him get moved from the Pens to the sens. It was funny to see Billy G effectively get back a pens tandem in Minnesota and now Ottawa is back to waiting for a goalie to emerge again. Gus has always been a stud prospect and he's just starting to rise.

So we traded for Talbot for depth in nets....But now with our starter lost for the season...We are trading him???Yeah cant see it

 

[SomeDude]

The Summer of Dorion feels like years ago.

 

[BurgoShark]

The Summer of Dorion feels like years ago.

To be fair, the team had lost 2 in a row when that rumour came out. 4 wins in a row and a big trade for a stud D changes things.

Talbot should be highly motivated. His best shot at getting a good offer for next year is to help drag the Sens in to the playoffs. That’s a bigger opportunity than riding the pine for a competitor.

 

[Drew311]

Sens need to get Gibson out of ANA.

He might even get less in the summer. Not many teams looking for a 36 year old starter with meh numbers.

A team would likely bring him on as backup and pay him peanuts.

Probably depends on any offers for him. If there’s value on the table (but why would there be), get it.

Weird on his end unless they totally low balled him. I mean he could be part of a winning team that just made some nice moves to set themselves up even more for next year to be very competitive.

One more time for the people in the back!

My guess is the Leafs, they could use insurance in net with Murrays health being so flaky.

If we are into our back up and 3rd string...we shouldn't expect to win anything.

Roll with Sammy Murray and Woll.

Talbot plays well in the playoffs. If Murray is out of the lineup again and Sammy falters, I'd rather have Talbot even as backup than a rookie Woll.

There has been no indication he can repeat that. He looks terrible right now. Not worth the risk.

If he is bad a defense Buffalo will take him!
