Talbot, after his seemingly intentional not giving a crap and being pulled early against the Canes the day after being told that Kosttinen was the guy, pulls up his boot straps since and is determined to playing his way out of Edmonton.
The Oilers have no choice now, and it’s the only reason they signed the other guy at some random time mid season, for Lowe (who’d long since taken the reigns from Chia) to put up the smoke signal via the long burning Millwoods tire fire, that Talbot could be had.
