Confirmed with Link: Wings sign Kent Huskins for 1 year

[Run the Jewels]

Jeff Finger could be the guy. He's from Michigan, right handed and doesn't appear to be signed by anyone. He could be a 20-30 point guy here.

 

[TKB]

Here 3 realistic players the Wings might add..

1. Chris Campoli
2. Kent Huskins
3. Brett Clark


Lebda had his chance w the Wings...Only way I can see him coming back is b/c of his speed. He has great speed, makes decent outlet passes..Only negative thing is his actual Defense, LOL

Commie, no wayyyyyyyy

Not sure what happened in Montreal last year, but I liked Campoli during his brief stint with the Hawks.

I would rather have Kubina, but given the status of our D, Campoli could be a good signing.

Colin White intrigues me. Pick up Vandermeer + White, stick Smith with Ian White...


Kronwall-Lashoff
Smith-White
Vandermeer-White

Is that...

... the White way to build a defense?

 

[Henkka]

It better be a big tough stay at home guy.

Colin White was at try-out for the Blues, but they released him, when they signed Redden.

How about him?

That guy is horrible. Leaf fans hated him. 1 year 850K. If Kenny drops 2 million on him he should be fired immediately.

Leafs' fans hated him because he was paid 3.5M to play as a 3rd string D. If he's signed to a reasonable deal, say 2 years/1.25M a year, I would listen.

 

[Peter Tosh]

One could, if reading too much in to it, actually suspect it's Lidström. "Trying" to sign the player, waiting for the league to "clear the deal", Holland being on the phone for hours... If you sign someone who has already filled out his retirement papers, there would proably be a lot of strings to be pulled for him to sign a new NHL deal. http://www.freep.com/article/201301...es?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Detroit Red Wings

I'm not saying that this is going to happen, though.

 

[sarcastro]

Clark is probably the best fit as a shot blocking safe guy.

They will probably go with a "puck mover" who plays no actual defense...

 

[ProPAIN]

I was only joking yesterday, but Commodore might actually be a possibility.

Finger actually is a pretty solid bottom pairing guy. He hits hard and will fight, leaf fans didnt like him because he was signed to so much money as a bottom pairing type when they already had Komisarek. I live in the golden horse shoe, a lot of my buddies actually liked when he was in the lineup because he was steady back there

 

[Z40]

Lids seems like a guy that when he says he`s done... he`s done. Let`s not get our hopes up.

I'd like to see Clark actually, he's a righty too (IIRC) if Coliaicovo is injured.

Kronwall - Ericsson
Smith - Clark
White - Kindl/Quincey/Lashoff

Glad it's only a 1 year deal.

 

[Chris 84]

huskins, per mckenzie

 

[Heaton]

Good signing for a depth player. Has been solid on a few teams and will bridge the gap during injuries.

 

[Mister Ed]

6'04'' - 205 pounds, 33 years old, lefty.

“Kent played an important role on a Stanley Cup winning team and knows what it takes to win,†said Doug Wilson. “He is a player that can play in all situations and does whatever is necessary to get the job done on this ice.â€

 

[mindfly]

Who is this?

 

[sully6one]

Just what we need, another leftie, but besides that, decent signing I guess

 

[PullHard]

this might be the gongiest show of all time
