With various reports the Minnesota Wild were interested in several goaltenders, they ultimately sign Former Calgary Flame Cam Talbot to 3 years, $11M.

After the end of the Draft Day marathon, Bill Guerin made the Wild’s immediate plans clear and simple: Getting a Goalie. That told us a couple of things.

  1. Depending on who they get, it’s unlikely that Alex Stalock will be the bonafide starter. If the right person is acquired, maybe he’s part of a 1A-1B split tandem, but it does not seem the organization is completely comfortable giving the keys to the net completely to Stalock.
