“I’m excited about the move,” Talbot said. “They already had a good young core and made some good moves in the draft and have the room to make another splash in the next couple of days. I’m looking forward to getting in there and helping them get back to the playoffs.” Talbot, 35, is going to the sixth team of his NHL career. Last season, he posted a 32-12-4 record with a 2.77 goals-against average and .911 save percentage. Gustavsson, 24, joins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury in Minnesota. He posted a 5-12-1 record with a 3.55 GAA and .892 SV% last season. Minnesota has $4.279 million in extra cap space that can be used to sign prospects Marco Rossi, Cullen Addison and Adam Beckman or other free agents. This is the second trade involving a goaltender in back-to-back days for the Senators. On Monday, Ottawa traded goaltender Matt Murray to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Wild (53-22-7) finished second in the Central Division before losing to the St. Louis Blues in the playoffs. The Senators (33-42-7) finished seventh in the Atlantic Division, missing the playoffs. (Photo: Jeff Le / USA Today)
