Question

Comments?

Pittsburgh sign Huet now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Didn't see this one coming.

Good signing though, I've got no complaints.

Answer 2

he was good for the pen's too last year. oh well guess you cant keep em all.

BOOM

Answer 3

Huet wont go for a back up position. He will most likely go to back Caps before he goes to Pens. sorry. Hey Emery is still available.

Answer 4

If you can't beat them, join them, eh?

Answer 5

Good pickup for Detroit. He has some potential and playoff experience, he has the chance to be a starter. He will add depth to the goalie spot and if he does not play well, they will just not sign him next season...

Answer 6

Guess he felt he had a better chance at a CUP...... actually he is guaranteed 35 starts there if he plays well with the WINGS alternate system! He can pad numbers again for a year and then go get MORE MONEY next summer. Smart move on his part for his career!

750k is cheap...

Answer 7

: (

no they have a bunch of good ones on the farm team and just picked some up in the draft

Answer 8

='(

Noooooooo. Don't remind me. =/

Answer 9

Sounds like Howard has a challenge for backup :)

Answer 10

I think the Pens envision Marc Andre like a Roberto Luongo.  They're going to give him a big workload from now on, so the Pens don't really need a great backup.  The backup won't play much.  It also will save them some money for their other free agents.

Answer 11

Why the h**l would Huet go to the Pens?  He's NOT a backup goalie!

And I'm pretty sure the Shero would not pay a backup goalie 3-4 million to play 20-30 games.  They need to concentrate on other positions, goaltending is not there problem.  Fleury is still young!!!!!

Answer 12

where r u getting this from? and dont say tsn or nhl.com. ive been to both. in the last minute.

Answer 13

i love it!!!!!!!!! wooooo hoooooo!

Answer 14

seriously? dang. lol

Answer 15

Woww what a steal... 750k? Seriously the Wings are on a roll right now. I'm so happy :)

Answer 16

Pittsburgh can't afford Huet. He won't sign up to be a backup. That's not happening.

Conklin's a solid, veteran goalie. He's over-rated, but the Wings were not going to do any better for under a million. They have to resign Filpula, and extend the contracts for Franzen and Zetterberg. With that in mind, Conklin was a good pick.
