Red Wings sign defenseman William Lagesson to one-year contract | Detroit Red Wings

Looks like a one-way contract. This, so far, is the most interesting signing to me, in terms of what it says about the rest of the [defense] roster.

Like, where does this guy fit in? Does he bump AlJo down? Or do the Wings have more faith in AlJo than was assumed?

I hope it's the pressbox with Holl or GR.

I would normally think, ‘oh, obviously GR.’ Except it’s a one-way contract (unlike Dries for instance).

Obviously they can still put him in GR, but teams don’t typically sign guys to one-way contracts unless there’s some reasonable amount of probability they’ll be on the NHL roster.

Welcome to GR!

It's happened before, but the only examples that immediately come to my head are guys tabbed to be a #3 goalie. (IE Wings the first time they signed Pickard a to 2 year 1-way).

But, yea if this guy who has been waiver fodder for years is tabbed for the NHL roster as what would currently be a #5LD, I have no clue what Yzerman is doing, and he probably doesn't either.

Depth. Stick him in GR, the one-way just insures he's paid.

Won't even count against the cap.

If someone picks him up off waivers, so be it.

With Holl sitting in the visitor’s pressbox please

Called back up post chokehold, interested to see how he looks if he plays with the Wings.

I saw that he was recalled, may well be Petry is out for more than a game or two...and SY has not put him on the IR yet.

 

[Retire91]

I might normally think this is a nothing burger but the way things are he actually has a shot

 

[Obe2kenobe]

Well, he did get a rear naked chokehold tap out on a player recently, never seen that before. Let’s hope he doesn’t go full Happy Gilmore and try to take his skate off and use it as a weapon.

Missed the last 3 games in GR due to serving a suspension for attempted murder and gets promoted to the big club? Classy.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Sorry but which dmen is out to need this guy?

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Perfect time to call him up then, have William play and introduce himself to Marchand and Tkachuk the next two games.

Man, what I would give to see him tap out Sloth.

 

[GoBoltz56]

Sorry but which dmen is out to need this guy?

Hopefully all of them except 53 and 77

In preparation for the game against Ottawa.

Petry is out, if more than 1 game, he has been called up as D7 insurance for the road trip, Kane went on IR retro to Nov 23 to make space

Was just going to say…. Just what the doctor ordered to play against the big bad bruins and those pesky sens on Thursday.
