HockeytownRules19 902 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 Helene St. James @HeleneStJames Red Wings are talking to UFA D Carlo Colaiacovo, but he is not signed. They've wanted to add veteran D for depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 Brought back from The Void, as a number of sources are saying that the Wings are close to signing him, and now rumors on twitter are stating it's a done deal. Wingzman91 said that even TSN is confirming it now, though their website still doesn't have anything. Looks to be a two year deal, though I still haven't seen confirmation beyond the Strickland report of the total cap hit or yearly salary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 f*** this, i want kindl to play regularly. the guy needs time. now he will just ride pine. 1 LidstromIsASuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LidstromIsASuperhero 29 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 ...until he gets hurt for like, a third of the season. Then Kindl will get some time. I want him to play too, but I would rather have a more solid defnense all around. In all honesty, I think a shut down type of defender to be a plug on the bottom pairing would be better. He could play conservatively and add insurance to the offensive risks that Brendan Smith is prone to taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 At they end of the day, he played on the top pair for 2nd place team in the Western conference. If we sign him for that price, he's a steal and he will help our defence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 Oh, wow. With all the lockout hooplah, I almost forgot about the Colaiacovo rumor. Solid signing if its true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Solid depth signing. Can't complain because it's pretty obvious the Red Wings are in serious need of bodies alone on defense. I would like to see Carlo paired up with Ericsson to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Solid, like others here are saying. What's important is that we add numbers to our defense. Let's face it, Kindl is a bust. He'll get playing time nonetheless, but he's not going to be developing into a solid #3 or #4 defenseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
