Trying to find a new home for Curtis Joseph may be on hold.

According to a report in the Toronto Sun, the Detroit Red Wings goaltender underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a broken ankle and is expected to be out for four or five months which means he would not be ready to play until January.

An MRI exam at a Cleveland hospital, possibly ordered by the Boston Bruins who were supposedly trying to work out a deal for Joseph, revealed that he required surgery. The injury will likely put an end to any imminent trade talks the Red Wings were having with teams interested in acquiring the goaltender.

Don Meehan, Joseph's agent, refused to comment about the injury but said he would discuss the situation further on Wednesday. Calls to Red Wings brass Ken Holland, Jim Nill and Jimmy Devellano were not returned on Tuesday.

Amazing! Well... my grand-father always told me: everything happens for a reason. We'll have to see how that affects the other possibilities now that Joseph is off the market, according to the report.

The Detroit Red Wings put out a big fire on Wednesday morning, addressing a Toronto newspaper report that Curtis Joseph would be out with an injured ankle until January.

The Red Wings told TSN that Joseph's injury is not as serious as reported, as the veteran goaltender had a bone chip removed from his ankle. It was bothering him during the season and he chose to have the procedure to remove them.

Joseph is expected to return to skating in approximately six weeks and would only miss the first week of the regular season.

According to an initial report in the Toronto Sun, Joseph underwent surgery on Tuesday and was expected to be out for four or five months.

The report came as news surfaced that the Red Wings were having trade talks with teams interested in acquiring the goaltender.

Less of a big deal now...

mugs: I'm not a big fan of him as well. He does acrobatic saves and puts on a great show but has never won anything big yet.
