Penguins Sign Center Talbot to Two-Year Extension

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Friday that they have signed center Maxime Talbot to a two-year contract extension. He will earn $1,050,000 per season. He would have been eligible for restricted free agency this coming summer. So far this season, Talbot has four goals and three assists for seven points and 18 penalty minutes in 28 games. This is a decent move by the Penguins, as Talbot played an important role in the team reaching the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. He has decent offensive skills and good toughness with the potential to be a scoring center. Talbot will be an important part of the Penguins' success over the next two seasons.
