Flames ink Cam Talbot to 1-year contract
by Mike Alessandrini from on (#4JA2W)
The Calgary Flames signed goaltender Cam Talbot to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million, the club announced.
Talbot was traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Philadelphia Flyers last February and posted a 3.70 goals-against average across four appearances in Philly.
With Mike Smith headed to Edmonton, Talbot is expected to compete with David Rittich for Calgary's starting spot if the restricted free agent re-signs.
The 31-year-old Talbot spent three seasons as the Oilers' starter but largely disappointed in his final years with the team.
