2021-22 Off-Season (General & Detroit)

[Mitchrapp]

Wild has signed defenseman Joe Hicketts to a two-year, two-way contract. Former Wing.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Red Wings agreed to terms with center Pius Suter on a two-year contract.

Not sure the numbers yet but it's a nice pick up. Too bad he's not a right shooter. Just turned 25, only 1-year at pro level. 2nd line I suspect.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Btw, with Suter the BH didn't qualify him. Not sure I understand that.

Played with Bert & Fabbri in juniors.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Suter $3.25M AAV. That's a bit less than I would have thought. Very happy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

There was so many more trades and free agent signs but I couldn't keep up and it got tiring.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Red Wings bring back Luke Witkowski on two-year deal

 

[Mitchrapp]

Red Wings bring back defenseman Dan Renouf on one-year deal

 

[Mitchrapp]

The Wings acquired center Mitchell Stephens from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

This is for depth. 4C maybe.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Bertuzzi sign a two-year extension valued at $4.75 million a season.

??when we had Semenko and these guys?? I spit my water out. The absolute perfect player to use as an example of ?when the guys policed themselves.?

Wake me up when they are back in the playoffs. It?s been five years. When is this damn rebuild going to be over.

It takes time esp. with a new GM. Especially after 25 years in a row in the playoffs. They won 4 cups for ya.. jeez.
