Conklin a Red Wing

The signings are coming fast and furious now. It's getting fun to try and keep up.

Detroit has gotten into the mix again, signing UFA goaltender Ty Conklin to a 1-year deal, reportedly worth $750,000. Conklin was solid in Pittsburgh last season when Marc-Andre Fleury went down with injury. Conklin finished the year with 18 wins, 2 shutouts and an assist for 41 pool points. He'll now get to back-up Chris Osgood this coming year.

The Red Wings have a pretty full stable of players already. 18 players are already signed at a rate of $44.6 million against the cap. Plenty of room for one of the top free agents remaining.
