Cam Talbot Traded to the Senators

Just five days after the Minnesota Wild extended netminder Marc-Andre Fleury, the club has traded fellow goaltender Cam Talbot to the Ottawa Senators. This comes after reports that Talbot and his agent, George Bazos, expressed their disapproval of Fleury's extension with general manager Bill Guerin:

In return, the Sens have sent goaltender Filip Gustavsson to the State of Hockey. No salary was retained for Talbot.

Senators GM Pierre Dorion commented, "Cam is experienced and provides us with greater goaltending stability heading into next season. He was instrumental in helping Minnesota reach the playoffs in each of his two seasons with the Wild. The tandem of he and Anton Forsberg sets us up nicely for the upcoming year."

Talbot has a cap hit of $3.67 heading into the season, but is only actually owed $3 million. He will become a UFA after the 2022-23 season.
