Talbot Watch | Brent not returning?

From Renaud Lavoie of RDS:

The rights of Maxim Talbot were traded to the Maple Leafs. They have until noon july first to make a deal.

There you have it, from a legit source. Bob McKenzie is now reporting that Talbot has not been dealt to the Leafs, and that his agent is free to talk to numerous teams.

McKenzie adds:

OK, my turn for a correction. PIT granted permission for Talbot’s rep to talk only to TOR for 48 hours commencing Sunday.

The two possibilities stemming from this most recent development is that the Leafs are going to take their chances in unrestricted free agency, or Burke didn’t like the going rate and Talbot is out of the picture. Essentially, after all this, we know nothing.

We’ll keep updating as more becomes available. In other news, there is some talk unsigned forward Tim Brent, who gained a lot of fans as the season progressed and seemed like a fit at fourth line center, will not be returning next season. Brent told TheRecord.com:

“As much as I would love for it to be Toronto, unfortunately, by the looks of it, it’s not going to be,”

“To be honest, I haven’t heard from them,” Brent said.

“The disappointing thing is I gave everything I could to playing for the Maple Leafs.”

    Good for him, a wise manager gets good people around him and delegates. That’s what he’s done with the Leafs front office, it’s loaded with good hockey people. They can get hold of him if needed. I believe he’s coming back this weekend to march in the Pride parade in support of Brendan too.

    Not much problem with that. From what the guys who have been over tell me the military has a pretty good set up for them to communicate with their families. Burke will have access I’m sure

    Question for all you folks who know the CBA better then I do and that would be everyone because I can’t pick head nor tail of that legal stuff. The Devils filed for team arbitration on Parise to prevent anyone offer sheeting him. Between now and the arbitration hearing can they actually trade Parise because of that. I know once the arbitration award is made the can’t trade him for a year . They would have to simply walk away but what about between now and then.?
