The Predators signed McCollum to a one-year contract on Tuesday and placed him on waivers with the intention of sending him to the minors.

McCollum was waived by the Red Wings on Saturday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.

McCollum was traded back to the Red Wings organization Saturday, with a conditional draft pick awarded to the Flames, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

McCollum was loaned to AHL Charlotte -- via Stockton -- on Wednesday.

McCollum signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Saturday, beat writer Dhiren Mahiban reports.

The Red Wings re-signed McCollum to a one-year contract Wednesday, the team's official site reports.

The Detroit Red Wings have officially re-signed Thomas McCollum. McCollum got a two-way contract if the earlier reports are accurate, which obviously makes sense given that he's likely to start the season in the minors. McCollum will probably be called up if Jimmy Howard or Jonas Gustavsson get hurt, which is likely to happen at some point during the 2014-15 campaign given their histories.

Thomas McCollum has signed a one-year, two-way contract with Detroit. "McCollum has made strides and is developing into the prospect we hoped he would be -- a little slower than we thought, but he's become a real solid AHL goaltender," GM Ken Holland said earlier this month. "Some players bloom a little later." He just completed his best season in the AHL, with a 24-12-4 record, a 2.30 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage for Grand Rapids. He'll back up Petr Mrazek next campaign.

The Detroit Red Wings signed goaltender Thomas McCollum to a minor-league deal. The signing comes one day after the Red Wings did not give McCollum a qualifying offer. McCollum has been a disappointment for the Red Wings since they drafted him in the first round of the 2008 Draft. He was 45-55-6 in three seasons with Grand Rapids of the AHL and managed to play in one NHL game where he gave up three goals on eight shots in 15 minutes of action. The good news is that he is only 23, and goalies usually take a lot longer to mature.

Thomas McCollum will not get a qualifying offer from Detroit. The former first-round pick, 30th overall, of the Wings in 2008 compiled a 45-55-6 record in three seasons with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL. McCollum appeared in just one NHL game with Detroit when he allowed three goals on eight shots in 15 minutes in relief of Joey MacDonald on March 30, 2011 during a 10-3 loss to St. Louis. His old starter spot belongs to Petr Mrazek and Jared Coreau is slated to back him up.
