Well, he’s a Michigan guy. Spector’s (courtesy of 58Miles2Joe at Mlive and the Sault Star) reports it might be a fit.
THE SAULT STAR: Peter Ruicci reported yesterday Dallas Stars netminder Marty Turco loves the state of Michigan, having played at the University of Michigan where he became the NCAA leader in career victories. Ruicci suggests Turco, an unrestricted free agent this summer, could sign with the Red Wings, as both their current goalies, Chris Osgood and Manny Legace, are also unrestricted free agents this summer. Turco and his family are natives of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, meaning a move to Detroit would put them closer to “The Soo”.
Spector’s Note: My thanks to Chris Dawson. The Stars will likely do whatever they can to retain Turco, who’s improved play since early October is a big reason why the Stars have played so well by mid-season. Still, one shouldn’t rule out a big bid from a rival club like the Red Wings, especially with the salary cap due to rise next season.
Iwo: Now that’s interesting. See article posted below about the goalies the Wings are piling up and you may feel this either is (a) not going to happen because we’re stocked or that (b) Turco is such an upgrade from Legace, Osgood, Howard, etc., that it should happen.
More from Spectors…
