Good depth signing and good price. Hopefully he can play better here than in TO.

Smokie! I called this a month ago.

I like, I like.

[Guest blueadams]

New backup goalie.

I'll provide links soon here.

[Majsheppard 203]

Sooooo, TSN says a canadian team signs first... funny because all of twitter reported Gustavsson first.

EDIT: signed by yotes not flames.

THE MONSTER!!!!

I love it.

For me this came out of nowhere. He's been pretty bad couple of seasons, but hopefully he'll get a new rise here and become a solid backup.

[Majsheppard 203]

I don't know as I would have liked to get Montoya.

[Wingzman91 134]

Keep on going!!!

Monster will be big for us.

[esteef 2,679]

17-17-4/.902/2.92 behind a not so great Jets team. I'll take him over Conks any day of the week.

[KrazyGangsta 79]

Very good backup ... I can't even seem to remember who our backup was this year? Conks?

[Tim.D 176]

@TheFourthPeriod: Wings were in on Gustavsson when he first joined the NHL. He understands backup roll. Good addition for Detroit.

I like this signing. He seemed to have confidence issues in TO. I think that there is less pressure having Howard in front in Detroit. He is also a big bodied goaltender that can take away most of the net. If he's not on, at least he's huge.

Also, I wasn't interested in bringing in an old vet and having him out the next season.
