JeeSpot82 10 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 According to Code, the Wings are working on getting Kevin Weekes to Detroit. http://insidethecode.blogspot.com/ It's just a quick blurb, but he's generally more knowledgable than Eklund (who has Biron FOR SURE! going to the Wings and that Belfour has been rumored "for some time around here" to Florida.... I seem to remember him saying something about the Wings announcing it ANYYYYY minute now...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeeSpot82 10 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 Just passing along the info. And I don't think you'll argue that he is better than Eklund with the rumors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 I'm not sure where Code got this, but it's complete crap. Not only does it make zero sense, it also makes us look stupid because Weekes is 10 times worse than Osgood and injury prone too. Why in the hell would we do this? There is no reason for it, unless we're going with Osgood as our starter, but even then, why get Weekes, he's horrible. Rumor is we are working on a trade for Biron... Lilja and Kopecky for Biron straight up.... Also we apparenlty offered Lang, Hudler, and Maltby for Ribeiro, Souray, and Aebischer. The Biron one was reported on a Detroit radio station...

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 No way in hell. Kevin Weekes? OVER CHRIS OSGOOD? PAAAALLLLEEEEEEASE. I HAVE A MARVELOUS IDEA. Have CHRIS OSGOOD be the starter and one of Liv, Howard or Joey Mac back him up. Sounds good to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah if we can't get a goalie before the season starts, i'm guessing it'll be Osgood backed by Liv or MacDonald.... Jimmy H will stay in Grand Rapids and get playing time, that is how it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
