[Trade] Islanders acquire Cam Talbot from Washington

[TheScorpion]

More to come. Sounds like an eight-player deal.

Sounds like prospect Joey Anderson and defenseman Kris Russell are going to be part of the Talbot deal.

[simmer2]

You like your big-player deals!!

Talbot was upset was scratched last game. Came into my office and asked what was going on. Told him to get used to sitting on the bench as he is being moved to the Islanders and their popcorn is better because they use real butter.

I dont understand TheScorpion's fascination with Talbot. Frankly we were happy to keep Talbot but he was persistent.

This deal gives me a lot of the problems to solve but the value we get is decent as we hope that the RFAs can step up. Not to mention the "depth" guys like Dowd and Russell will play higher up on our crappy roster. So we are hoping this deal can help now and in the future.

It is hard to do deals for Quantity like this and most GMs wont but we are still trying to get some sim chemistry so why not do this.

Talbot ticks off all the boxes I needed for another goalie.

[Harry Lime]

he plays goal - tick
he's a goalie - tick

[BagoPucks]

I think you are forgetting the most important box

He is Cam Talbot - tick
