Wings aren't interested in Jean-Sabastien Giguere
Chris McCosky / The Detroit News
Detroit -- Media and internet rumors circulating out of the general managers' meetings in Toronto earlier this week intimated that the Anaheim Ducks are seeking trade offers for $6 million goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere, now a back-up to Jonas Hiller.
Whether those rumors are true doesn't matter to the Red Wings. They are not interested, either way.
General manager Ken Holland, though he would not talk specifically about Giguere, said he has not talked trades and doesn't expect to talk trades with any team any time soon.

The Wings, with $12 million of salary on the injured list with Johan Franzen, Valtteri Filppula, Jason Williams and Andreas Lilja -- all of whom are expected back at some point this season -- don't have much financial flexibility. And even if they did, Holland has made it clear he is more than content with his No. 1 goalie, Chris Osgood, who has 395 wins, 50 shutouts and has led them to two straight appearances in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Giguere's career, on the other hand, has come off the tracks. He hasn't won in his three starts this season, allowing 13 goals on 124 shots (.895).
