Edmonton, Buffalo, Dallas and San Jose are believed to have either submitted offers for Talbot, who has one more year at $1.45 million remaining on his contract as a prelude to 2016 free agency, or are on the verge of doing so. The Rangers, who traded their 2015 first-round selection to Tampa Bay in the trade for Martin St. Louis, aren’t due up until 59th.

The Oilers, who will select Connor McDavid first overall, also own the 16th, 33rd and 57th picks, but have not yet offered the Blueshirts their second first-rounder. The Sabres, who will draft Jack Eichel second overall, also own the 21st, 31st and 51st selections, but they also have not made their second first-rounder available.
