Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Under a mil? Brilliant.

Bar Down 107 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 If true, I love this signing. Conks should be able to handle at least 20 games for us this year and give Jimmy a break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 under 1 mil. hell ill take it. still 7 mil to spend... 6 Million left if he is taking a million. I said before that I actually wanted to see Larsson play in the NHL, so I am disappointed by that. But Conklin was choice four for me. Osgood, Larsson, Volkoun, Conklin. I am by no means mad, and I am sure he will do fine as long as Howard is healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 Great news! A reliable backup for dirt cheap! And plenty of cap space left. Bravo Kenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 People are acting like he should have got more then $1 mill? What do you guys expect for a back up who hasn't been signed 3 weeks into free agency o.0 1 Skeptikal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RusDRW 155 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 Excellent! Once in a while we get a goalie who can actually stop pucks any goalie should stop. With Jimmy Howard any soft wrister from the blue line could be a goal. Last time I had such good feeling was in 2008 when... Ty Concklin played for us.

RusDRW 155 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 Not at all. I always feel nervous when someone fires a shot at Jimmy. I can only imagine what players feel. If I were a Red Wings player I wouldn't believe Jimmy at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you watch the playoffs this past season? That Jimmy Howard fellow played pretty good in them. And to re-signing Conklin if it is true. 6 WMUsiv1, Zeowingsfan, Aussie_Wing and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 I'm pleased. Conks knows how to be a good backup. He cheers the other guy on and pushes him a bit. If he gets put in the starter role, he does his best and doesn't take it badly when the starter returns. That takes a man with no ego. In other words, a perfect Wing. Welcome back, Conk Block!

Travis 576 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 Great signing. Really the only goalie the Wings were going to go after at this point, so I'm glad it worked out. Welcome back Conks, having a better team in front of him will make him a better goalie - and that cap hit is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted July 20, 2011 Other than Larsson coming back this is exactly what I was hoping for so it's a great signing and I'm thrilled they were able to get it done. Conks is a good solid back-up and I think will do great again here in Detroit!! Welcome Back Conks!! 1 SwedeLundin77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
