Talbot announced his retirement and will move into a player development role, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot remains a hero in the Steel City for his efforts in securing a Stanley Cup championship in 2009. The 25-year-old played 11 years in the NHL before closing out his career overseas. With the Penguins, Flyers, Avalanche and Bruins, the center racked up 91 goals, 113 assists and 933 hits in 704 outings.

Talbot agreed to terms on a contract with Avangard Omsk (KHL) on Friday, Jean-Francois Chaumont of Le Journal de Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot has spent the last two seasons playing in Russia after he was relegated to the AHL in 2015-16. The 34-year-old lifted the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2009, but will likely finish out his career abroad. In the NHL, the center logged 704 games in which he tallied 91 goals, 113 assists and 495 PIM.

Talbot signed a one-year contract with KHL team HC Lokomotiv on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot saw his minutes drop off this season as he played in a mere 38 games with Boston this season before being sent down to AHL Providence. A Stanley Cup champion with the Penguins in 2009, the 32-year-old will now follow the path of several other veteran players before him by heading to Europe to prolong his professional career. Given his experience, the center could manage a return to the NHL, but fantasy owners will want to look elsewhere for low-end depth, if they haven't already.

The Bruins have assigned Talbot to AHL Providence.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot, who notched two goals and seven points over 38 games with the big club this past season, will give Providence a versatile and experienced presence up front for the team's stretch run/AHL playoff push. Talbot is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and there's a decent chance that the respected veteran forward won't be re-signed by the Bruins.

Talbot has been recalled by the Bruins on an emergency basis.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot, who has notched two goals and six points over 36 games in previous stints for the B's this season, gives the team a versatile veteran to bolster the team's forward corps, but it's unclear if he'll draw into the team's lineup Thursday against the Red Wings. If so, he'd be destined for third or fourth-line duty.

Talbot has been assigned to AHL Providence.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot, who has recorded six points in 36 games for the B's to date, is likely to return to Boston before long, though in his fourth-line role with the team, he's off the fantasy radar.

Talbot has cleared waivers, WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains to be seen when Talbot next suits up for the B's, but with just six points and a minus-10 rating in 36 NHL games this season, the veteran fourth-liner is off the fantasy radar.

Talbot was waived by the Bruins on Saturday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot has 10 years of NHL service time but is best viewed as a depth forward at this juncture. In 36 games with the Bruins this season, the 32-year-old registered just six points and an ugly minus-10 rating. You can safely pass over Talbot in virtually any fantasy league.

Talbot has served his two-game suspension and is back in the lineup Sunday against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot will center the fourth line in his return to the lineup alongside Zac Rinaldo and Landon Ferraro. However, he's recorded just one goal in 13 games this season and averages just 10:59 of ice time, so don't expect a ton from him.

Talbot has been suspended two games for a late hit on Jiri Tlusty, CSN's Joe Haggerty reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barring an appeal, Talbot will miss the next two games against the Blues and the Sabres. He will be eligible to return to action Dec. 27 at Ottawa. It is unclear who will take his place on Boston's fourth forward line in his absence.
