Panthers sign Belfour
Psycho Eddie is no longer an option for the Detroit Red Wings, which is excellent news in my opinion. Belfour signed a one year deal with the Florida Panthers for $1.25 million, which was a lot higher than the Wings had even considered with Eddie recovering from back surgery.
“We had some interest in Belfour,” Holland said. “Money was always a concern. His lower back was a risk. If we really had wanted to sign him bad enough, we would have moved. If I’d had brought him in, he’d have been intriguing — but he’s intriguing until the back goes.”
So as we had previously thought, Holland will be looking for a number one goaltender via trade whether it’s before the start of the season or before the trade deadline (similar to the Oilers acquiring Roloson).
