Confirmed with Link: Daniel Cleary (1 year, $1.5 MM + $1 MM bonus potential)

[WingedWheel1987]

Is anyone really surprised? Ray Charles saw this coming.

Who will he be blocking this year for no discernible reason? Maybe he thinks blocking better players with garbage will have the same effect as it did on Nyquist?

 

[LeighDx59]

Holland this year

...I'd rather have the dog as GM to be honest.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

This sucks.

Yup Soup? This double sucks.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Resigning Cleary last year blocked Nyquist and was clearly a bad move so we do the same thing this year?

Well that should just about ensure Tomas Jurco rots in Grand Rapids this season. I guess Holland knows he has no ability whatsoever to upgrade the Wings roster so he's gonna keep every NHL guy with waiver exemption in Grand Rapids so he can say he's got a great AHL team. It's absolutely pathetic.

Dan Cleary has done more harm than good to this franchise.

Gasp! How dare you! Cleary is such a great role model and elite player when he steps on the ice. What would we do without him?

Wait I know, we would throw a party and replace him with an actually good player

 

[The Geelee]

What a terrible, terrible offseason. Most Gm's would get the boot after a offseason like this. Disgusting

Honest to god.

With this team you have to ask yourself, what's the thing I want to see happen least?

And then you have to expect that to happen.

Which quite frankly sucks for us as fans.

I feel like bashing my head repeatedly into my granite countertop. No joke.

Sad to say, I KNEW this was the news when my phone played the GameCenter sound.



Babcock benched him permanently at game 53. This is all on Holland.

Clears was hurt. Babcock will sit Jurco for Cleary to start the season. 3rd line. IN THE ROOM.

Safe to assume it would be Jurco, Since Cleary will be regulated to the 3rd line.

Ok, so I defended the Quincey deal because we at least tried elsewhere, and it ensured that we didn't have to force the kids into an NHL role if they weren't ready.

BUT WHAT THE **** IS THIS ****

 

[Roy S]

That better be a two-way deal or this is even more ridiculous than last year and gross incompetence.

Cleary is absolutely finished as a player.

All Kenny had to do was not to re-sign Quincey and Cleary. He failed. The dog wouldn't have.

 

[InjuredChoker]

“He’s coming off a real tough season,” Holland said. “I know he’s working really hard to try and get some leg strength to give himself the best opportunity he can for a bounce back year.”

Trying to find room to fit its overflowing stock of young forwards, DET signs 35-year-old coming off a terrible year

 

[Vladdy84]

2nd year in a row. He's not coming back! They wont sign him! Suckers. Here it is. Babcock demand him back and Kenny is an idiot.

 

[Frk It]

I hope everyone in the hockey community bashes us for this. Genuinely.

 

[ProPAIN]

Ha, yeah **** Holland.

See you guys next year. More of the same this season. Or they are tanking for McDavid/Eichel.

How ****ing depressing.

Cleary is absolutely finished as a player.

it's 1.5 mil + 1 mil in bonuses. can't be 2-way deal on this CBA.

 

[The Geelee]

"We like our team"

"Cleary gives us a chance at success"

"Jurco? More time in GR will do him good"

"Get into the playoffs and anything can happen"

#FireHolland, get rid of this fool

 

[Heaton]

inexcusable

He signed for 1.5 mil. Pretty sure there's no way it's 2 way deal.
