Mum's the word from Red Wings, Belfour

Why? What are they waiting for? Do they want to sign him or not? What about Abeisher, what type of trade can happen between the Habs and the Wings? May be future 1st draft pick? I am waiting for some answers from the Wings fans here!

General manager Ken Holland hasn't returned repeated calls from the Free Press in recent days.

Ron Salcer, the agent for Ed Belfour, also has not returned calls.

Holland did speak with WDFN-AM (1130) on Friday and addressed the goaltending situation.

"I still continue to talk to Ed Belfour's agent," Holland said. "We've gone back and forth all week, and if we can get something done with him, we'll bring him in, but I've also had some other talks, some other teams have offered goaltenders that are available if we decide that things don't work out with Ed."

Belfour, 41, is coming off back surgery, but he passed a physical conducted by the Wings' doctors last week.

NOTEBOOK: The Wings will bring Jiri Hudler and Darryl Bootland to training camp this year.

The Wings also signed Krys Kolanos, a former first-round pick in 2000 by the Phoenix Coyotes. According to hockeydb.com, Kolanos played for five different teams last season, the Phoenix Coyotes and Edmonton Oilers in the NHL and the San Antonio Rampage, Lowell Lock Monsters and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL. Kolanos combined to score 20 goals and 20 assists in 40 AHL games.

The reason the wings are having trouble with Belfour are because they are having trouble sorting out Bonuses within the contract.

Im sure if this deal falls through then they probally could get JS Gigure for cheap.

I'm hoping the Wings don't waste time w/ Belfour. He was good about 10 yrs ago. I think Osgood would serve them better than Eddie.
