Why? 6th-7th guy who doesn't exactly do much of anything well.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Exciting news.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Who???

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

At last the Nemeth sweepstakes are at an end.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Does this mean Kronner isn't coming back? Don't we already have enough d men?

That's what I'm hoping....

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Yzerman wasn't joking when he said it will take time. Both of these signings so far are so boring....

Solid Defensive Defenseman... Has to mean at least 1 of the Vet D-Men are on the way out

Plays a similar role to Ericsson

 

[lhsgolf19]

Plus he is only 27... So I can handle it, I guess lol

 

[ShelbyZ]

Ericsson 2.0 with a "nice raise".

Maybe this is supposed to be for the Oilers and the insiders forgot Holland wasn't the Red Wings GM anymore?

 

[Hammettf2b]

So right now we have the following...
Green
DDK
Daley
Big E
Hronek
Kaski
Bowey
Nemeth

Who sits/plays in GR?

Out of that group, Kaski for sure.

 

[lilidk]

That's what I'm hoping....

Do you prefer Patrik Nemeth over Kronwall ? ???? ?

Where is Cholo?

I'm guessing this indicates something about how much they expect Ericsson/Green/Daley to be healthy and playing this season. And the likelihood of Kronwall coming back.

Yes?

 

[Larkin1578]

I'm fine with the signing. Hopefully one of a couple scenarios happen..Green goes on LTIR, one of the vets (Daley, Ericsson) are being traded or Kronwall is retiring.

 

[Pavels Dog]

It's kinda 'meh', but it is the type of D-man we probably have a need for.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Where is Cholo?

I don't think Cholo starts in Detroit so I left him playing in GR.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Avs fans & scouting reports: "Big, mean, strong, physical, Shot-blocking stay-at-home Dman, with good 1st pass, mobile for his size, solid 3rd pair & solid PK'er"

 

[Oddbob]

If this means Kronwall is done, than I am more happy with it.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Does this mean Kronner isn't coming back? Don't we already have enough d men?

Considering how banged up the D was last year, I could see them carrying 8:

Green
DeKeyser
Hronek
Daley
Ericsson
Nemeth
Bowey
Kronwall (if he returns) - Cholowski/Kaski/Hicketts (if he Kronwall doesn't return)

I'm assuming the plan was to sign a D for two years to give them depth when Daley, Ericsson, Green and Kronwall (if he returns) could all leave next summer.

The door is likely still open for Kronwall as planned.

Am hearing Ericsson might be LTIR'd? Can anyone confirm?
