Tom McCollum traded from Calgary to Detroit for a conditional draft pick.

Former Wings 1st round pick and longtime Griffin goaltending fixture is returning.

Interesting. So now we have 4 veteran professional goalies.

Just serving as backup in GR or is something potentially up with Mrazek?

Holland is a hoarder. Again, he's playing GM for Grand Rapids. McCollum is no more an NHL netminder than Holland is at this point.

 

[Henkka]

Looks like they want to help Toledo also.

Conditional draft pick at least is a free price.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

McCollum is a popular player in GR. He is good with the media down there and is well liked by the organization.

We have a big budget in terms of our AHL team. GR AHL only contracts and some of the contracts Ilitch is willing to put down there makes for a very good AHL team.

They want to move Mrazek, I think we know that much. This is a move about Grand Rapids. Good for McCollum, I don't think he is ever going to get regular NHL time, but being the well liked AHL goalie for a while here at 6 figures a year is good for him and I am happy to have him back. He is a tremendous human being from everything I have heard.

Reports I read is Kenny already tried trading Mrazek and nobody wanted him. Maybe waive or buy out?

 

[Chris 84]

weird. machovsky is perfectly capable of being an AHL starter if needed.

Conditional 7th round pick to Flames.

For a conditional 7th round

 

[Dotter]

For a conditional 7th round

Probably stipulated if he plays "X" amount of games in the NHL.

I completely forgot about him.
Definitely a logjam now.

Agreed. I don't think they would want the hopes of Grand Rapids to hinge on Machovsky and another unexperienced AHL goaltender.
McCollum brings a little stability for GR in net. I think they are planning on a Mccollum/Machovsky split tandem.

Buy out period is over for now, Probably could see Mrazek getting waived before the season starts in early October.

 

[Henkka]

Yep. And in 99% of cases these conditions are never met.

 

[Wood Stick]

Tommy will see more NHL time than ever with Mrazek gone, Howard to the IR and Coreau ******** the bed in the NHL.

That wouldn't shock me in the very least.

 

[DatsDeking]

It's like the song Jimmy Mac, but with Tommy

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

What happened, Joey MacDonald said no???

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I wouldn't have even paid a conditional 7th.

 

[Run the Jewels]

The key to being an odds on favorite for the #1 pick is losing Mrazek, so I absolutely want him to be waived. A tandem of Coreau/McCollum would be absolutely perfect assuming Howie still can't handle a full NHL season.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Yep. And in 99% of cases these conditions are never met.

And 87% of statistics are completely made up.

 

[Heaton]

And 87% of statistics are completely made up.

Only 65% of the time.

75% of Americans die their hair.

Also what's going to happen with Peterson jvp and those guys now

Larsen and JVP will continue to develop overseas and the Wings will retain their rights.

Patterson was not issued a qualifying offer by Detroit and is currently a UFA

 

[SirKillalot]

What is the point of this?...

If Mrazek is getting traded because of this I'm going to be so mad.

Probably just organizational depth.

 

[Boomhower]

Who would even be in the Market for Mrazek after today?

Canucks and Arizona ?
With each of those seeming like long shots... as they just picked up what they believe as 'upside' guys who haven't been given a chance as full time starters in Raanta and Nilsson.

More like Nobody.
