Wow. Big move here. Husso is 27 and was quite good in net for St. Louis this season. Was due to become a UFA next week, but obviously Detroit makes this deal to get exclusive negotiation rights and hammer something out before he hits the open market https://t.co/KIrSVa98ZI— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 8, 2022

Husso is 27 and despite a lackluster playoff performance is coming off a breakout year.
He finished ninth in goals saved above expected (13.5) last season, per @MoneyPuckdotcom— Nolan Bianchi (@nolanbianchi) July 8, 2022
Alex Nedeljkovic and Ville Husso would give the @DetroitRedWings one of the best goalie tandems in the East.— Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) July 8, 2022

So with Husso gone and signed in Detroit, Fleury re-upping in Minny, that leaves Kuemper and Campbell still pending UFAs on the goalie carousel.
New Jersey, Toronto, Edmonton and Washington among teams needing or wanting a goalie … of course there’s also the trade route.— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) July 8, 2022

Husso had a brilliant 1st half in STL last season – wasn’t nearly as good 2nd half and playoffs. But makes for intriguing tandem with Nedeljkovic #RedWings— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) July 8, 2022
