I would link to my series of articles predicting exactly this with dates on them and everything but:
A) against forum rules
B) **** it, too depressed

Wow. I can't believe they don't do anything.... i guess the upside is they plan on bringing up Jurco, Sheahan and Ferarro next year (and probably parts of this year)...... I don't know though

Clarkson wants, 7 years 6.0 million per
Horton wants, 5 years, 6.0 million per (wants to be at warm south)
Filppula wants, 8 years, 5.5 million per
Bozak wants, 7 years, 5.0 million per
This freaking market is going to be insane. Players revenge from the lockout?

I'm more frustrated with the fact that he most likely won't get rid of Samuelsson, Cleary or Bertuzzi. No reason to dump them now.
I asked St. James via twitter if the Wings' indecision on the Samuelsson buyout was related to his health or the forward glut. No response from Helene yet, but I can't imagine a scenario where keeping Samuelsson is a good idea.
At this point, if the Wings re-sign Brunner and let Cleary and Fil walk, I won't be beyond furious, unless one of the FA targets signs for something very reasonable.
I'm ok with not chasing Clarkson at those prices, and 5 years was too long on Lecavalier, although it was fun to think about.
However, I can't justify bringing Cleary and Samuelsson back next year. If they let Brunner walk and bring back Cleary + keep Sammy, I will lose it.

I'm livid. Holland is one of the worst gm's in UFA season. That VL4 contract is not bad at all. **** Holland. God Damn.

This is pretty funny, but we have the guys already. Just let Flip and Cleary walk.

Still cant figure out their love affair with Sammy.
Rather use the roster space for regular roles for Tatar and Nyquist

LMAO I knew Holland would'nt do any thing, The cap could be as high as $80 million in 3 to 5 years and Holland still wont spend to put a marketable team on the ice Why are'nt we surprised.
mindfly
Happy camper!
You seriously have to wonder if Illitch is going all in on the Tigers and is telling Holland to keep the wings payroll as low as possible (but still good enough to make the playoffs to generate them big dollars)

She's paid to report. Ask some questions. Get answers.
Not give us Holland's PR
Exactly how I'm starting to feel about her. She seems to be just getting worse and worse, when is the last time her reporting didn't just sound like Ken Holland telling her what to write?

The money is fine, the term is terrible. He's 33 and he got 5 years and a Full NMC.
I woulda went 5m per for 3 years tops.

Two years. That was the problem and that was their plan. Bring the kids in after those years and the term didn't fit.

this makes me really sad. I'm ok with us not pursuing Vinny if it meant "lets give the kids a real shot" and see what we got, versus lets keep these old vets around and not give the kids a shot.
I honestly don't get it. If we sign Weiss to a 5 yr 25 million deal too, I don't get it. Like Babcock loves size, does Holland think that Babs rather have Weiss than Vinny? I mean maybe he does, but I find it hard to believe that if Kenny said to Babs I can get you either Weiss or Vinny, that Babs is choosing Weiss
is it too late for the compliance buyouts? does that mean for sure Sammy still on the roster next season?
By next year, you mean 2014-2015, right?
This is the same song and dance we've heard and are going to continue hearing. Yay.
This is as predictable as James Cameron's Avatar.
