Red Wings Re-Sign Chelios and Quincey

The Detroit Red Wings announced today that they have re-signed veteran defenseman Chris Chelios to a one year contract worth $750,000. The team also announced that they have re-signed defenseman Kyle Quincey to a two-year contract. Terms of Quincey's deal were not disclosed. It was reported last week that the team was closing to resigning both defensmen. In 69 games last season with Detroit, Chelios scored three goals and added nine assists for 12 points and 36 penalty minutes. Quincey played in six games for Detroit last season, going scoreless and adding four penalty minutes. Despite his age, Chelios brings lots of toughness, depth, and leadership to the Red Wings' defense. Quincey, who will likely play most of the season in the minors, gives Detroit lots of toughness on their blueline.
