Brad Stuart, Andreas Lilja and Ty Conklin sign with Detroit
Both Brad Stuart and Andreas Lilja were core defenceman in Detroit’s Championship, while Conklin was one of the reasons the Pittsburgh Penguins were so high in the standings and an awesome back up goaltender.
Stuart played in 9 regular season games, after being dealt at the deadline by the Los Angeles Kings, with Detroit recording 2 points and a plus 6. In playoffs Stuart played 21 games recording 7 points and a plus15
Lilja played 79 regular season games all with Detroit recording 12 points and a minus 2. in Playoffs Lilja recorded 1 assist and a plus 3 in 12 games.
Conklin’s signing was a big surprise (at least for me) that July 1st had. Conklin started in 33 regular season games with 18 wins and a .923 save percentage. He didn’t start any playoff games.
To be honest I thought the Detroit Red Wings would stick to a Chris Osgood/Jimmy Howard goaltending tandem.
Author Bio
I am a die hard Red Wings fan ever since I turned 13, plan to be one my whole life.
I played hockey on a minor level, but I wasn't very good, I never made the team, so I decided to step aside and leave the game to pros.
