-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 His 'hunt' for an NHL contract is over: Quote The Detroit Red Wings signed winger David Booth to a one-year contract Monday, the club announced. According to Craig Custance of The Athletic, Booth's deal is a two-way agreement worth $700,000 (NHL) and $250,000 (AHL). Custance also pointed out that Booth will serve as insurance if current restricted free agent Andreas Athanasiou isn't re-signed in the next couple of days. The veteran forward hasn't suited up in an NHL game since 2015 when he was a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He registered seven goals and six assists across 59 regular-season games that campaign. Booth was invited to Red Wings camp on a professional tryout, which was the third PTO of his career. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1388869 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Kinda odd that they are willing to spend money on a PTO guy, when they still have yet to sign a young RFA in Andreas Athanasiou. The best to Booth though! One of my favourite guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Happy to see him get another NHL shot. I hope he's an effective player and proves he can still provide depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite guys I've been asking my Redwings inside connection about this, he is surprised they've let it go this far, apparently Athanasiou has gotten some bad advice from his agent. If they are in cap trouble as reported, perhaps Booth is a replacement for a more expensive contract player that will be traded or waived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they get scared coming over to North America. Russia is so small a place compared to here, and there's so many people here compared to there. regards, G.
