According to Sportsnet, Talbot's side and Wild general manager Bill Guerin met several times over the weekend, after the latter confirmed he wanted to keep the same pair of goalkeepers the next day. next season.

Talbot's agent, George Bazos, did not corroborate his client's frustration, but told TSN that "Billy [Guerin] will have to think a lot."

The DG of the Wild struggled to digest Bazos' words.

"I don't give a fuck," Guerin told The Athletic. Cam Talbot is under contract. [Bazos] can say whatever he wants. Cam is a member of our team and we really love him. All we want to do is win."

After leading the Wild in the playoffs with a 32-12-4 record and .911 save percentage, Talbot only played one spring game. The Minnesota team gave their cage to Fleury, which they had acquired before the trade deadline. The Quebec goalkeeper has since signed a two-year contract extension with the Wild.

Talbot will reach full autonomy at the end of the next season and his contract will weigh $3.67 million on the Wild's payroll. Fleury, meanwhile, will receive $ 3.5 million per campaign until 2024.

-In addition, Guerin confirmed that forwards Nick Bjugstad and Nicolas Deslauriers will not be returning to the Wild next season and will become unrestricted free agents.
