News Article: Wings would like to re-sign Cleary if they can trade someone (he's NOT signed) #142

[The Zetterberg Era]

This is just unreal, well thanks for kicking off my drinking today.

 

[Christien]

This signing is okay IF AND ONLY IF Cleary is actually used as a 3rd/4th line guy.

But then all it would take is for Alfredsson or franzen to get injured and he's in our top 6.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Offseason goes from decent to awful.

Another classic Kenny offseason.

KH is not healthy for my cardiovascular system... I will get a stroke soon

For three years? No, there is no win to be had here. None,zero,zilch, NA mother ****ing DA.

I thought a classic Kenny offseason was not signing anyone and then bringing in previous old members of the Detroit Red Wings?

 

[Mjollner]

Is it possible to buy out a contract we signed 10 minutes ago? I'm thinking probably not, but somebody please humor me so i don't drink myself into a coma.

Don't get me wrong Cleary is a nice guy, nice hockey player? Not so much.

It's classic that he brought back garbage.

I like getting rid of Flip and was happy about the Alfie signing because I thought it meant Cleary was gone.

This offseason is a complete disaster.

This can't be true I'm dreaming.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

This may very well be my low point as a Red Wing fan.

 

[PullHard]

Ken Holland is his own worst enemy.

 

[sepster]

Son of a *****. I hate this man. ****

 

[bullocks]

HOW did Cleary manage to make them forget about how awful he is?

To be fair 4 other teams were hot after him and offered more money.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

by whom? I think they'd have to go 4 mil and up on Nyquist before the Wings wouldn't match. About 3.5 or 3 on Smith. I don't think Andersson would get a sheet.

Whatever team wants to do it. If you offer sheet both right now I don't even know that we can match legally. If you hit up over 3.5 million on both. We cannot match one of them without going over the 10% threshold. We are instantly not cap compliant. If you wanted Cleary to sign this which I know nobody did, you should have waited until you protected our two really good RFA players. Stupid!!!! The signing is ****ing stupid to begin with, but what it leaves us open to is even worse.

Damn you Cleary, you should've be more greedy, and signed for that other team!

 

[Vladdy84]

Not 3 years.

 

[icKx]

Sucks.

So long Tatar.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I didn't say it was a win. This is not a win. I said it could be okay in some very limited circumstances.

 

[Syckle78]

To be fair 4 other teams were hot after him and offered more money.

Were those four other teams against the cap? Were those four other teams overflowing with forwards? There no way to spin this.

 

[ricky0034]

someone seriously needs to demand an explanation from Holland on this

this is the kind of thing reporters should be for but no

Very good point. They should have waited to sing Cleary. Lets just hope this doesnt cost us Nyquist now. It could very well end up like that.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Were gonna lose Smith, Gus it Andy to an offer sheet.

Oh, okay. I thought you were making the claim that a team WOULD do this. You're actually making the different claim that a team COULD do this.

Fellas, It's okay if you want to go on a similar route
