mvanpop 98 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 I'm wondering if the wings should sign Sami Salo. He's a right handed shot and didn't have a half bad season for his age. It might be a good idea to sign him for a year if possible and because then we can have just one more year for Sproul and Ouellet to develop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 I just don't see the point in signing a rental veteran Dman at this point, especially since we signed quincey again. The only thing that would have been a good signing is a Dman such as Erhoff or Niskanen that can improve the team now and in the future. Because that wasn't possible, we should have just stayed put and went with what we have. Signing Salo might help us make the 8th seed again, but it doesnt allow any of the rookies to get any playing time. IF we were to be fortunate enough to rid of Kindl/Lash then a vet such as Salo would be great. But who is Holland to cut dead weight? 1 mvanpop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arag 308 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 Not much to loose. the way things unfolded for the Red Wings, Iam fine with Salo. I just don't want to watch Kindl play. 1 Motown4013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvanpop 98 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 I agree that Salo would be a good addition IF we can still promote someone like Sproul as the 7th defenseman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 Yes. It would be nice to have a Dman that can actually pass the puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterPavel 115 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) No, no, no... The last thing we need to do is panic and sign an over the hill, injury prone, small defenseman blocking a young guy from ice time... So I fully expect him to be signed by the end of the week...

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted July 5, 2014 Salo would fit right in. Probably would be injured along with the rest of the crew by the second week of the season. Would rather just roll with Sproul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salo is actually what Sproul may turn into.... Hard shot RH Dman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,755 Report post Posted July 31, 2014 I used to be a big fan of Salo when he played for Vancouver, but the guy is now 39 years old and has a HUGE history of injuries. I'd rather give that spot to one of the kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
