Confirmed with Link: Wings sign Kent Huskins for 1 year

[Mister Ed]

General manager Ken Holland told the Free Press this morning that he is working on signing a veteran and hopes to be able to use the defenseman in tonight's home opener against the Dallas Stars.

Holland didn't want to name the player until the deal is finalized. The contract has to be cleared by the NHL, and the player has to get to Detroit.

Other options: Commodore, Lebda, Brett Clark, Mark Eaton, Jeff Finger, Peter Harrold, Kent Huskins, Doug Janik, Milan Jurcina, Pavel Kubina, Kurt Sauer, Jim Vandermeer...

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Lilja or Vandermeer

 

[sully6one]

It better be a big tough stay at home guy.

 

[BF3]

Lilja. Book it!

 

[zecke26]

nooo

 

[Huddy*]

its going to be

 

[mindfly]

Hopefully it's a right-hand D

 

[barnztormre]

I'm sure Commie would love being reunited with Babcock.

Kubina wouldn't be bad on a one-year deal. He's a right-handed shot IIRC.

 

[19Yzerman19]

Pavel Kubina
Brett Clark

 

[Peter Tosh]

Please! Anyone but Lilja or Lebda.

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

Maybe Kubina? Though he's lost a lot of his speed over the past couple of seasons.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

7th for Lilja!

 

[Macoun]

Even though kubina has lost a lot of speed he still seems like the most logical choice.. He's big, right handed, can block shots and plays a little physical.

 

[BF3]

Alright, not Lilja, so Kubina? Isn't he in Europe? Kind of hard to be in Detroit for tonight if the article is to be believed.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Just sign Lilja so I can finally succumb to alcoholism.

 

[Huddy*]

Nick Lidstrom? 46 games , misses hockey, gets paid like a boss...just sayin

If the "player" is going to play tonight

1. KH needs to announce this signing ASAP
2. Player must already be in town3
3. Player must have been in talks with DRW before lockout ended, had interest from other teams, now is signing w Detroit.
4. Player better be ready to go TONIGHT

Why is this so hush hush? Its not like the Wings are picking out of a hat..or are they??!?!

I have a fifth of Jack that's been sitting in my cupboard for 3 years. Let's go!

 

[detgirl13]

I wonder if it's a 3 way trade involving Luongo

"We have a potential deal in place with one team that has to do something with another player that they have — and it's not who anybody thinks it is — and so we have to wait. (But) we've been offered packages that don't fit what our plan is, what we need," Gillis told the Sun.

It could be completely unrelated, I just thought I'd play Sherlock Holmes lol

 

[Run the Jewels]

I'm sure Commie would love being reunited with Babcock.

Kubina wouldn't be bad on a one-year deal. He's a right-handed shot IIRC.

Yeah Kubina would be my guess. Do that and then waive Q and we'll be headed in the right direction!

 

[JBauerly97]

Chelios?

Only the good stuff for Lilja, Johnny Walker.
