According to The Athletic's Micheal Russo, there may be bad blood between Cam Talbot and the Wild that will need to be addressed. Take a look:
"There also may be lingering effects to sidelining No. 1 goalie Cam Talbot until Game 6 for Marc-Andre Fleury despite Talbot going 13-0-3 in his final 16 starts.
They'll either need Talbot to forgive and forget and clear his head by training camp with one year left on his deal or perhaps trade him. Regardless, this seventh early offseason will need to be dissected by management because after holding a 2-1 series lead, to lose three consecutive games after a 53-win, 113-point season is unacceptable." Talbot has one year left on the three-year deal that he inked with the Wild in 2020.
Marc-Andre Fleury was named the starter for the Wild at the beginning of their series against the Blues that's probably what caused the bad blood between them.
