Cam Talbot Traded to Senators from Wild for Filip Gustavsson After GM’s Comments

The Minnesota Wild have traded goaltender Cam Talbot to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for goaltender Filip Gustavsson, the teams announced Tuesday.

Minnesota is not retaining any of Talbot’s $3.6 million cap hit for the 2022-23 campaign.

The news comes after Minnesota re-signed Marc-Andre Fleury to a two-year extension, presumably to be the team’s starting goaltender. Talbot’s agent, George Bazos, then met with Wild general manager Bill Guerin to discuss his client’s future with the franchise.

Following the meeting, Guerin called out Bazos during the 2022 NHL draft, stating that he doesn’t have to trade the netminder or accommodate him:

“I don’t have s–t to do. Cam Talbot’s under contract. George can say whatever the hell he wants. My team’s set right now, and that’s the way it goes,” Guerin said. “We can have all the discussions we want. Cam’s a member of our team. We really like Cam. All we’re trying to do is win.”
