Watched Penguins/Avalanche game tonight and started thinking about Maxime Talbot. Bottom 6 player, gritty, competes every night, and scored both Penguins goals in game 7 of SCF in a 2-1 win against Detroit. Yet he ended up going to the Flyers and subsequently the Avalanche in years since then. Why didn't the Pens try harder to keep a guy like that?
Same scenario with Darren McCarty in Detroit. I know he finished in Detroit, but he spent 2 years in Calgary before coming back. I always thought his stint in a Calgary jersey was just odd for him, the Flames, and even for the Red Wings.
I'm not really talking about top-end players in this topic, just mid-lower level guys.
I'm interested to see what other "heart and soul" guys seemed displaced in different jerseys.
