And one more thing. Talbot has shown capability to play all 3 forward positions. Your reasoning is false that EDM doesn't need him due to the fact they have two bottom 6 centers. What the proper answer would have been is that, "Edmonton already has an abundance of bottom 6 (more-so 4th liners) forwards.
Chiarelli did trade for Talbot, so he likes him. I'm sure he'd take a player like Talbot (veteran, leader, can kill PKs) in EDM, even with the abundance of bottom 6 FWDS..
Of the bottom 6 forwards EDM has, and I'll look strictly at 4th liners, since that what Talbot is in this time of his career:
Hendricks, Letestu, Klinkhammer, Gazdic, and Korpikoski (who is a capable 3rd liner, but that depends on a guy like Draisaitl making the team this season). Of that group, I'd take Talbot over Kinkhammer and Gazdic with ease. He offers a lot more than both would.
Hendricks -- Letestu -- Talbot/Klinkhammer
Would be a solid 4th line for EDM.
So please, don't try and nitpick my team choice for such a petty deal. Like i said, there are plenty of teams who could use a 4th liner like Talbot. I chose EDM, and i'm not too far off there.
