The Hockey News’s Lyle Richardson is one of the most respected writers out there, but I’m scratching my head at “Spector’s” suggestion, via the New York Post’s Larry Brooks, that the Red Wings may be willing to trade one Cameron Talbot in order to help clear the decks:
Turning to the Detroit Red Wings, [the New York Post’s Larry] Brooks noted that Cam Talbot has performed well thus far in Motown. The 37-year-old goaltender has a record of 6-6-2 with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
Talbot has an affordable two-year contract with an average annual value of $2.5 million. Brooks believes the Colorado Avalanche or New Jersey Devils might come calling if their current goalie tandems don’t work out as hoped.
Continued; anything is possible, especially if Sebastian Cossa takes leaps forward in his development, and/or Trey Augustine turns pro…
But I’m not seeing the Wings moving Talbot unless all hope is lost, especially given Ville Husso and Alex Lyon’s up-and-down performances.
