2012 FA Signings

[CheeznWingz]

So Kenny completes the back up goaltending with the Monster, so now we go for D, then forward? I like the signing, kinda left field, but I like it.

2012 additions:

Jonas Gustavsson
Jordin Tootoo
Mikael Samuelsson

Definitely an interesting signing. He showed signs of being a solid goaltender on a less than stellar team in Toronto, so seeing him on a team like Detroit surrounded by his countrymen could help him be a very good back up for us.

[RedWings13]

Didn't expect this at all.

I like it, better than trusting Joey Mac. He did solid last year, but I just have a hard time trusting a career minor leaguer/backup.

Me either, but I like it a lot. Really shores up the backup position. With Joey Mac's back injury's in ?, its a good signing.

[CheeznWingz]

Considering this was an unlikely signing, do you think Kenny is gonna be going off the board with the FA signings?

[RedWings13]

What's the cap hit?

[RedWings13]

I see it now. 1.5 is pretty solid.

[sixteendgr]

3 million for 2 years so a 1.5 million cap hit. Still have roughly 23 million left to spend

[wingnut]

What's the cap hit?

$70.2 mill

[RedWings13]

$70.2 mill

I meant for Gustavsson.

[wingnut]

I meant for Gustavsson.

2 year for 3 mill $1.5 per season

Idk how it's out of left field been rumored all morning cmon guys keep up haha love it solid backup we don't need to worry about As much as Conk

[wingnut]

To bad Conk's didn't play like he did in 09, he was horrible last year.

[Wingman]

3 million for 2 years so a 1.5 million cap hit. Still have roughly 23 million left to spend

With that signing the Wings only have about 16.5 mil left in cap space. Started the day with about 18 mil supposedly. Have to leave money for Quincey, Abdelkader, and probably Brunner. Anyone have any updates on those 3.
