That's a great deal.....glad to have Cambot for another year.

 

[nevesis]

Great move!

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Talbot extended 1 yr 1.45 Mil

Pleasantly surprised, could have def gotten more on the open market like Johnson did, could be a tradeable asset over the summer if teams are interested.

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Nice, another year of Kreider's Goodnight Sweet Prince Cam kisses.

 

[Vitto79]

Sweeeet

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

What an absurdly good deal. In the sense that he could easily ask for more on the open market. Maybe a starter job on a bad team.

 

[nyr2k2]

Wow, that's really surprising. Cam must really enjoy the City and playing for the team. I was certain he'd want to test the free agency waters and find a team that was willing to give him a chance to win a starting spot. Great move for us, though. Good price for a guy that's an excellent backup.

 

[Mr Clutch]

Great news. It's nice knowing we have 2 solid goalies. Some teams have none we are very lucky and how cool is that by Talbot to sign for 1.45 when he could have definitely made more elsewhere

 

[Baby Punisher]

Well deserved and great move by both the Rangers and Talbot. Rangers get abother season of not having to worry about putting A backup goalie out in any situation. Talbot get's to play on a contender with a chance at a cup. But more importantly Talbot get's to work another year with Benoit allaire and will continue to hone his skills and then go for a staters job.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Sweet. Glad to have him back for another year. Good hockey player.

 

[Thirty One]

But he's going to be a starter after this season

Good deal for both sides.

 

[New York RKY]

Awesome news. Thought for sure he'd hit FA and get a nice pay bump.

 

[Cassano]

Pretty good cap hit for the best goalie on the Rangers.

 

[Kakko]

Nice!

Glad he'd rather back up the King than ruin himself in a goalie blackhole *cough*Edmonton*cough*

 

[LeetchisGod]

Love this. Perhaps the best backup in the league.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Very nice. Thought for sure he was going to test FA.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Great knowing he'll be back next season. Surprising move.

 

[Bluenote13]

Nice, now he'll be easy to deal at the draft

 

[Inferno]

terrific deal.

VERY happy.

 

[JohnC]

They signed someone to an extension...I'm scared

 

[TheTakedown]

Nice!

Glad he'd rather back up the King than ruin himself in a goalie blackhole *cough*Edmonton*cough*

Realistically they are the only team looking for a goalie aside from WSH (whose only heard rumors about)

 

[Algernop Kreider]

I didn't think there was any way we could keep him after the season.

 

[Machinehead]

For all those teams possibly looking to grab him over the summer.

 

[pld459666]

Solid back up making solid back up money.

Doubt there's a starting job out there for him and he knew it.

Smart man.
