My guess is he is replacing Matej Machovsky.
I was thinking GRG for sure when I saw the signing, but I completely forgot the vast amount of turnover we have this off-season at that position. Crazy really.Red Wings sign Patrik Rybar of Slovakia, bolster goaltending depth
According to Ted Kulfan, he may go to GR to play with whoever gets re-signed out of Coreau or McCollum.
I think Fulcher will be the one to take Machovsky's place in Toledo.
Sorry Detroit fans. Red Wings is not any more a franchise, that was in 90s. That was the main target of every star player. You must take, what is it free.
Will he see some NHL action this season?
27 games in AHL with 891,44 % its not all-star level. Other side, it is not bad. In 11 games he was voted as one of the 3-stars.
He has a contract only for this season. So i think, if the Red Wings will sign him again, they should give him a chance on the top level.
Where did you find those numbers? All sources I can find say 91,5% saves and 2,35 GAA...which is solid...especially compared with Sateri.
Yeah, I just checked theAHL.com and the numbers you posted are his numbers. Not sure where the .891 comes from, I just posted on it, assuming he knew what he was talking about, but I guess that is not the case. In that case, I can see the Wings resigning him, if he is staying in the North America.
.891 save percentage is very bad in today's lower scoring game.

When were the Wings EVER the target of every star player?
The Wings landed guys like Larionov, Hasek, Chelios, Schneider, Shanahan, etc. through trades.
They got CuJo because they gave him mass quantities of money for a goaltender
Hull and Robitaille were greybeards at that point who the Wings gave big dollars to to play smaller roles.
They got two guys, maybe, because they were the big shots. Hossa and Rafalski (if you want to go that way on it, Rafalski was also a Dearborn product)
People wildly overstated the Wings "Yankee ways" in terms of just buying up the biggest talent. Just like they kind of overstated the Yankee way. They spent big to retain their own. That's the biggest thing Detroit did in hockey. They'd deal for a guy like Chelios and then convince him to stay long term.
There was many a time in the early 2000s (Bobby Holik, for example) where Detroit wanted a guy bad and he didn't come here.
I don't disagree with what you're saying. But if we are being fair, there were more than just two guys that signed in Detroit (i.e. Hatcher, Krupp) for big money who had a lot of cache (at the time). But overall, I agree with the point you're makingWhen were the Wings EVER the target of every star player?
