Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] Thomas Greiss signs with the Red Wings (2 years, $3.8M AAV)

[Go Wings]

I think Greiss is better.

I disagree. While Greiss definitely stays healthier than Crawford, I think Crawford is alot better. But it does not really matter as anyone is an improvement over Howard.

Last good UFA goalie signed now. Everything thats left is old guys on their last legs or not so great options. Aaron Dell might be the best of the rest.

Of course there's also Fleury , Columbus goalies and one of Mrazek/Reimer in Carolina ( if they can upgrade )

Price seems fine. Right in line with the other UFA goalies that signed ( outside of Markström )

 

[Empoleon8771]

Uhhh, hey Edmonton, what's plan B?


Edit:...or are you guys on Goalie plan F?

I think Mrazek to Edmonton and Fleury to Carolina is really all that is left in terms of options for Edmonton. Hell, that may be the only option for Vegas at this point too.

Instead of helping Vegas getting better by helping facilitate Fleury to Carolina they should just sign Aaron Dell. He's not worse than Mrazek . If Vegas manages to find a way to clear out Fleury and sign Pietro thats very bad news for the Oilers who are in Vegas division.

The Oilers are going to have to be creative now. There’s a few teams who could still take on Fleury’s contract, get something from Vegas for doing so, then flipping him to Edmonton retaining salary and getting even more from the Oilers.

Pretty impressive that Yzerman hasn't had to overpay any of the UFA signings so far, considering how bad we are. Guess he's selling them on more ice time to up their value

They all probably thought they were signing with Tampa.

"Defending champs, year-round sandals, no state tax? Sure why not?" *signs contract* "um wait, you're with Detroit now?"


"Do you have whiteout?"

 

[Michoulicious]

Best goalie signing so far.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Overpay for Fluery

Poor Greiss gets paid but gonna get crushed

Getting paid by the save , $1.00 per save.

 

[amnesiac]

poor Greiss.... I think his SV% may dip this season.

 

[PWJunior]

I hope we have fans in the seats for Greiss' return to LI, he deserves a lot of love from Isles fans. Wish him the best in Detroit.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Carolina can always consider the club legend Scott Darling

He always came across as the darling of the organization.

Good Luck Greiss and thank you for your service!

Just FYI. When Greiss is having an off day...he's having an off day and you need to pull him asap!

Other than that, he'll be a good goalie and he knows Nielsen very well.

 

[ElysiumAB]

This is Stevie Y we’re talking about, he just sits them down stares them in the eye and boom they’re ready to put pen to paper

And make out.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Im surprised Greiss didn't end up on a more competitive team. Looked like there were some tandem spots open on teams players would see as potential contenders.

Likely he was looking for too much money initially and then every other good UFA goali signed which lead all the spots on competetive teams beeing filled. Took one of the last spots that was looking to spend on a goalie.

Well outside of Edmonton but it seems barely anyone wants to go there .

 

[Srsly]

If somebody needs a goalie they can call Vegas. Greiss is a good goalie if you looking for a 1a/1b tandom but if I am Edmonton or Carolina I wouldn't want Greiss as my #1

Bernier is actually a decent backup/low end starter and performed a lot better than his numbers indicate so we may see him and Greiss battle it out a little bit this season. I’d give Greiss an edge but it’s hard to gauge Bernier based upon the terrible teams he’s played for.

Ask CHI fans how he played this season. He's most certainly not better.

The break may do him some good though.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Ha TFS reference I'm guessing

absolutely. Chancellor Nappa.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

I wonder if it has to do with respect as well. Yzerman carries himself pretty well compared to other GM’s.

Yzerman has carried himself as an exceptional person for decades.

You have the guys like Sean Avery who are just complete jackasses who don’t respect anybody say “I loved Stevie. Stevie was my leader”.

 

[Go Wings]

He had .917 SV% a 2.77 GAA and was one of the main reasons Chicago beat Edmonton in the play in. I literally have no idea what you are talking about.

Was likely wanting over $4m aav yesterday... today he realized he needed to settle for less as the market was drying up and couldn't risk ending up without a ride.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I guess my streak of rolling with Greiss as my G2 in fantasy is now over...

 

[CREW99AW]

Best of luck to Greiss.

Probably closer to Plan Z for now.

As for OP, feel like usually the goalie carousel takes longer to stop. Pretty quick this year.

 

[On Edge]

One of my favorite players on the Island over past several years. Will be watching and wishing him well!
