Sorry, I thought they waived Holl, he wasn't claimed by nobody and then they recalled him because what remains of Jeff Petry (that he could not beat for a roster spot) was injured.
I must have been mistaken.
Waived: [DET] G Ville Husso waived by the Red Wings (cleared)
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date

Who cares, he cost them a 3rd round pick that was used to draft Aleksanteri Kaskimäki.

I guess not so easy to build a team without being in a desirable climate without income tax.
He had the tax free advantage. Once that went away. Pumpkin time

Good with changes in the team.
Husso certainly a good goalkeeper but we have good replacements.
New purchase Campbell gets the chance?

Campbell's currently in the assistance program. So it's gonna be Talbot/Lyon going forward I imagine.

Campbell is new this time I read this news before. Campbell and Talbot are two new goalies for the season.

Yeah but I think he was mainly meant to be in the AHL to mentor Cossa. And who knows when he'll be ready to play again.

I can swear I saw a similar sequence in the Questioning Yzerplan thread too. Keep it up.

Good riddance. I had a feeling this was coming after that pathetic goal from Marcus Pettersson the other night.
Maybe the greatest one hit wonder goalie since the Hamburglar.
One good season in the NHL. He wasn't even good in his rookie season in St. Louis. I was lambasting Detroit for even starting him on opening night.
Him getting injured and not playing after December (except for one game in February, where I'm pretty sure he left that game injured) might have been the worst thing that happened to them last season. Because he would have played way more and they would have missed the playoffs by 6-10 points (maybe even more?) instead of only 0 points and missing on a tiebreaker. He has significantly worse numbers than the other two regular goalies who were there last year.
And yet I'm sure teams will still be interested in signing him this coming offseason.

Yeah. I give Yzerman a little more leash on this bad contract than the other ones. This one was a swing on a goaltender that was pretty coveted around the league, with multiple high profile suitors...and they won out. He was a legitimately pretty good goaltender at the time. But as a smaller more quickness/reflex dependent goaltender, these injuries seem to have just absolutely nuked his ability to tend the net effectively.
That's always a risk, particularly with those types of goalies, but it can happen to anyone. Guys just fall off a cliff all the time when they start picking up repeated injuries and nagging lower body issues. Hard enough just to get back into some sort of "groove" that they need to be in as a smaller goalie...next to impossible when the injuries just keep on coming. Especially when they start to really sap that athleticism that's even more important to them.
Someone will still give him a shot next year on a cheap deal. Who knows how that will go...if he has a little more time to "get right" and healthy before then.
I do even wonder if at some point this year, there isn't a team that would take a flyer on him to close out the year. Maybe someone who deals one of their own goalies away toward the deadline, or has injuries and doesn't want to throw a young guy to the wolves just yet. The fact it's just this year remaining makes that at least plausible...but i highly doubt anyone bothers with him at full salary at this point. Not sure anyone is in a big enough goaltending panic just yet (save for Colorado maybe - but they can't afford it and have Kahkonen to try first anyway).
Finally.
He’s been brutal for a while. Injuries took their toll.
He’s done in the NHL.
He’s been injured big dog.
Why make comments on things you have absolutely no idea about?

Then there is dead cap space next season... This isn't a do or die season for the Wings. Part of why I'm annoyed they gave Kane bonuses rather than just giving him money straight up for this season.
