Waived: [DET] G Ville Husso waived by the Red Wings

Certainly not ones making $4.75 million.

Kahkonen was palatable because he is at $1 million. Even broken Georgiev is at least only $3.4 million.

Nobody is getting Yzerman out of jail for taking on Husso’s deal.

1 yr at 4.75 is hardly jail.

Laughable to see Sens fans in here running down Detroit goalie woes. You literally had Korpisalo just last year who had multi years left on a bad deal. Husso is in the final year of his deal, was still better than Korp last season and it took an injury for Husso's career to derail. Also have paid Ullmark huge money for what he did with Boston and that could maybe be an albatross deal if he doesn't play well in Ottawa. So maybe worry about your own team instead of jumping into every Wings thread to crap on the Wings.

There is like 4-5 of you and it is like you have nothing better to do than run down the Wings at every chance when the Sens aren't looking great either. Not impugning all Sens fans, just the 4-5 very vocal ones that are non-stop with their BS.

Yzerman sure made some expensive mistakes and goal has been a mess for the Wings in general. Talbots been good but he's almost 40 now right ? A best stopgap until Cossa is ready.

Ever notice non-Red Wings fans seem a lot more worried about these contracts than Red Wings fans are?

It's almost like Husso injured himself three times last season.

Cossa is likely on the Wings in 1B role next season hence the current contracts they do have expiring to make way for him. People can make fun of the Yzerplan all they want, but the idea was to provide stopgaps while they developed internal talent. He said it would take a long time, most of the players people hate on have a clear identifiable player in the pipeline advancing towards an upgraded roster replacement.

Sorry for Husso, he just could never get healthy again. He was good until the injury, I wish him the best but I do think this is it in Detroit. A large part of that being Cossa is the established 1 in Grand Rapids and needs to be so it isn't like Husso is going to get more than the back to back AHL games to find his game at this point.

Detroit isn't what it used to be, and im not talking about the red wings.

Thanks for noticing Detroit's resurgence in the last decade!

I remember when people tried to tell me he was better than Binnington

Had injuries not taken their toll he certainly had a case.
