Maxime Talbot (born February 11, 1984) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey center who played in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado Avalanche, and Boston Bruins. He was drafted into the NHL out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) by the Pittsburgh Penguins, 234th overall, in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He led the Hull/Gatineau Olympiques to back-to-back President’s Cups while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as playoff MVP both years.
