Detroit looking to free itself from contract
ESPN.com news services


DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has thought about
waiving goalkeeper Curtis Joseph, in light of Dominik Hasek's return to the
club, the Detroit Free Press reported Friday.

According to the report, Holland believes Joseph would be picked up by
another team, despite his $8 million contract for each of the next two
seasons. If another team picks up Joseph off of waivers, the Red Wings would
be relieved of Joseph's contract.

Holland's preference, according to the paper, continues to be trading
Joseph, so Detroit gets something in return. Holland told the paper he has
had some "interesting conversations" with other clubs regarding Joseph, but
did not elaborate.

Joseph became expendable when Hasek announced his return to Detroit in July
after a one-year retirement. Hasek was the starting goaltender when the Red
Wings won the Stanley Cup in 2002, defeating the Carolina Hurricanes in the
finals.

Of course there's always plan B. Offer a mill cash to any player who takes him
out in practice and thereby giving the insurance company the pleasure of
paying him.

When does training camp start and is there any chance of a 31 year old
walk-on who can't skate backwards getting on the ice ?

I don't see what the big deal is. The Wings signed Cujo as a free agent, so
they gave up nothing but money to get him. If they lose him on waivers for
nothing, oh well.

Yeah, if this was the CNGHL, Cujo would be bought out for $8 million and
fed to the wolves that is the annual Free Agent frenzy...

I sure hope not. That would bump Detroit, if they got Jagr, into
Cup favorites imo.

Unfortunately we're talking about Detroits back line and not the
Canucks's. I'd be a shoe (sp?) in before the Bomber. Uuuh wait a
second, that's my pet. Way to go Nolan, hows about giving your
feeder/trainer a little kickback. I'll make a little money off this
thread sooner or later.

It's Weight in a three way (sudb) , it's a rumour going around
according to Barry Melrose.
