Max Talbot
Bruins goaltender Jeremy Smith and forward Max Talbot both cleared waivers on Tuesday, meaning both players can now be assigned to Providence of the AHL.
Though both players were on waivers until noon, Talbot took part in Boston’s 10:30 a.m. practice and Smith did not. Though Smith was at TD Garden earlier in the day, his locker was cleared out by the team media was let into Boston’s dressing room.
Claude Julien did not reveal the team’s intentions with either player except to say that Smith would not be on the NHL roster as of noon.
Talbot is still awaiting word on Boston’s plan for him.
“There’s no more confusion,” Talbot said of learning that he was unclaimed. “It’s something I guess that’s part of the game, part of the business, part of the job. I’m just going to come back here to work every day. I came here to camp with the idea of helping my teammates.
“Right now, I’m not sure yet what’s going to happen to me, meaning if they’re going to send me down or keep me here, but I’m going to have a good attitude and whatever they ask me to do, I’ll do.”
