Talbot to miss start of Pens Season


Maxime Talbot is having shoulder surgery that is likely to keep him out 4-5 months. So he will miss the beginning of the 2009 season and will return around november/december. This isnt a massive loss for the pens because it isnt a season ending injury but he will be missed along genos RW. Right now the Pens have no legitimate RW for the Feds-Malkin line. There are still some reports out there that Shero is still in talks with Petr Sykora at a highy discounted rate, i dont see it going anywhere.

The pens still need to add 1 defenseman and a backup goalie to fill out their roster and have just around 3 million left in cap space to do so. Again there have been a few reports citing that Shero is working more the trade route than signing FA route. Shero is probably trying to dump as much salary as possible so he can make that trade deadline splash as he has done the last 2 years. With Mike Rupp being signed and capable 4th liners in Wilks-bare Dupuis and Godard are most likely on the fast line out of Pittsburgh. Dont let the door hit you guys in the ass when u are traded, because your are both as useless as a monkey humping a coconut.
