08:36 AM ET 09.13 | As of Thursday morning, a deal had not yet been completed, but the Red Wings had been closing on a deal. [Detroit] could be close to signing defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo to a two-year, $5 million contract. General manager Ken Holland told M-Live.com Wednesday that they're still talking, but that he is not signed. M-Live reported on Aug. 24 that the Red Wings had made a two-year, $5 million offer to the 29-year-old who played the past four seasons with the St. Louis Blues. Colaiacovo isn't the top-pair defenseman the Red Wings were seeking after losing Nicklas Lidstrom (retirement) and Brad Stuart (signed with San Jose), but he is one of the few viable options remaining in what was a weak free-agent market.

Sure they are. We all know how this ends.
As a Wings fan, I hope they don't sign him, simply because I cannot pronounce his name, so how am I to swear at him when I'm drunk and he flubs up?

Dear Mr. Canuck;
We must issue a cease and desist for contantly using the image of Rattus Norvegicus in your depictions of Mr. Bettman. It can certainly be deemed as deletrious. We can only surmise that you are not aware the proper nomenclature for Mr. Bettman, Mustela frenata.
Thank You for your consideration

Red Wings, you can have a Subban, you know. He would be a perfect match with Tootoo ;)

On most of the the threads they'd think "nomenclature" was a exclusive women's group.

There are people in this world who actually believe that Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, and Bettman are real.
