I can't believe they're talking 3M for Cleary. Actually I can't believe they're even talking to him at any price.

Zetterburg is 32 we have him for 8 more yrs @ 6M so why not?

I'll put an "F" bomb in front of that. Pay 36yr old $hitty 3rd liner in Samuelsson 3Million dollars and won't cough up 5M for center 3YEARS YOUNGER and is probably as good as Zetterburg?

Oh well, Chet Pickard the goalie selected @ #18 in the same draft never made the NHL either. Currently playing in Sweden.

Andersson met with him in February and discussed nutrition. Must have worked, he hired a personal trainer and has gone from 147 lbs to 160 lbs.

2013 U18 24gms 18g 22a 40 tp 59pm Who knows at this stag.

I read 165lb still pretty scrawny for 6' 2"

Pedophile is the word that jumps up when I see the creep.

If you ask Bettyman.

So did he.

Just like in the REAL WORLD where the rest of us toil.

Amazed they made it and even more amazed he turned it down.

Thanks, I wasn't aware it only applied to accelerated buyouts.

Since Montador's caphit is less than the 3M required for compliance buyout, won't part of his caphit remain?

He has only played a full schedule 3 times in his career.

Bickell isn't the only one that's gonna be overpaid. Most UFAs have gotten and will continue to get contracts that are completely out of line with the player's actual worth and it's the reason the stupid owner's feel they need a lockout each time the CBA expires. UFAs should be avoided like the Bubonic Plague. I also believe the Wings will regret the day they signed Z and Francine those lifetime contracts. At the time it was probably assumed that both players would retire before the end of the contract and the cap hit would disappear, NOT gonna happen and even in if they play out their contracts neither one will be worth their cap hit the final 3 or 4 years.

I believe compliance buyouts have to be completed this season starting tonight and ending July 4th and next summer there will be a 2 week period at the end of the season when compliance buyouts can occur.

Cleary and Sammy

Much rather have Tootoo than Cleary!

Francine needs to sit in the owner's box until he understands that he has to earn his minutes, actually maybe Babcock is the one that needs to understand that veterans as well as rookies need to earn their ice time. Grow some Bs Babcock.

Didn't he do the BITTER BEER commercial?

Cleary Sammy and White

His first full season was 09/10 prior to that he played 8 games in 07/08 and 19 games in 08/09. He was drafted 291st the last player drafted in '02 which was the year he switched from center position to defense. I'd say he has done quite well.

Looking at the replays I don't know how anyone could believe it was a legal hit. If any player hit ANY Red Wing with that same hit we would want his head along with at least 5 games.
