Buyout or trade incoming? Don't think MIN would trade him to us.

Hawks get boned by Keith's cap recapture penalty. It just gets better and better.

They didn't really get boned. They are shedding salary trying to tank. They will be well under the cap.

he's a horrific goaltender

 

[BlueOil]

I would, too. Talbot isn't very good.

i know, but minnesota fans still love him, so it's been extra funny

We are desperate for a backup though

You can't be serious

Serious question. You think Talbot would get bent out of shape because he's not the starter in MIN, then demand a trade to a team where he'd be the backup?

After being bought out and we sign him for 750k with a promise that he can start every regular season game vs MIN

I would rather the Blues reacquire Jake Allen, that is how little I think of Talbot. Just, no

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Would rather just resign Lindgren and hear the Chucky Sideburns insanity for another year than have Talbot

I'd be fine with that too, particularly if MTL retained 50%

do we even have a backup as of now?

 

[PocketNines]

I'd be fine with that too, particularly if MTL retained 50%

I want the Blues to try to win the Cup. Allen and Talbot, LMFAO

Guess you haven't examined our cap that closely. Just need a guy to not be a pumpkin for 20-30 games.

How expensive do you think Lindgren is?

Right, but you framed it as either get one of these two guys or else I am not familiar with the Blues' cap situation, which is actually funny

I've always thought that GMs are a little too unwilling to negotiate through the media the way agents do. Kind of refreshing to see a GM directly respond (via media) to an agent that is clearly trying to negotiate through the media.

He may end up be being the backup but I expect Armstrong to add a veteran to the mix.

 

[Xerloris]

Looks like a good way to cause problems within your team. Glad this is happening to the Wild.

I think it’s the exact opposite. Guerin calling out an agent in public is a beautiful thing.

I think something like that is more galvanizing than deteriorating.

Russia is officially keeping Kaprizov from returning to the US.

Teams drafting Russians who are not already out of the country are in major denial about reality.
