Guest snowman89 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 After further research, Filpula has 4 years till he is a UFA. That is why Holland has not signed him to an bigger contract, do your homework! On a side not everyone should read the CBA it is quite the read! LOL on 475 pages. Explains alot about contracts and everything. Wierd NHL rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CdnWingsFanEh 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 Jason Woolley, Ladislav Kohn, Pat Verbeek, Todd Gill, Dmitri Mironov, Tomas Holmstrom, Mike Ramsey, Sheldon Kennedy, Johan Garpenlov, Brent Fedyk, Paul MacLean, Mel Bridgman, Chris Cichocki, Claude Loiselle all worn the #15, but I can't recall anyone wearing #51. Anybody recall it being worn before? Ah, thanks, it was Woolley I was thinking of, not Whitney.....that makes a little more sense now. :idea: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kindlwillbegreat 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 On the "Flip" side, maybe filpula does not want to renegotiate till the end of his contract, what if he gets better he is going to want to maximize, his earning potential, i am tired of people questioning and bitching about Holland, why dont you move do columbus or chicago need i go on, then you'll have an actual beef. With the league more competitive and salaries(sort of under control) and a cap we wont have the jugernaut teams of the past, becides if he signs filpula to long deal and he ends up sucking, you dont have to pay him all that money plus I found this on the TSN.ca website..... how many years does filpula have left on his contract RENEGOTIATION OF CONTRACTS Will Clubs be able to renegotiate contracts with players? No. Player contracts will not be renegotiated (upward or downward) during their term. Extensions may be negotiated but only in the final year of the contract and only if such extension is for an amount that can be accommodated in a Club's upper limit for the current year or as computed for future years. P.S. and I didnt even insult you this time, i must be in a good mood. this is filppula's final year before he becomes a restricted free agent at seasons end , so they can negotiate a contract if they want After further research, Filpula has 4 years till he is a UFA. That is why Holland has not signed him to an bigger contract, do your homework! On a side not everyone should read the CBA it is quite the read! LOL on 475 pages. Explains alot about contracts and everything. Wierd NHL rules. wtf you blabbing about ??? holland didnt offer a longer term deal because in 4 yrs he will be a ufa ??? how the hell does that make sense ?????? they could of locked him up for 3 yrs and tried to negotiate a new deal on the final year of the contract , or give him 2 yr extention and then try and lock up a long term deal on the 4th year ........you make no sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,951 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 I researched this recently and you're correct. Per the 2006-2007 media guide Homer started his 2nd season with #15 and switched to #96 mid-season. Mironov brought over the #15 with him when he was aquired by the Wings. Also, a bit of team trivia... #15 is the most worn number in Wings history! ...oh yeah, what's the least worn? #9 maybe? #6?

Guest snowman89 Report post Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) All I am saying is there is no point for either to agree right now, Holland is not going to pay 1.75 for a 25 point guy, and why would flip agree to a lesser deal now when after this year he could prove he is worth that 1.75. Where did you find information about length of contract for red wings? Edited July 26, 2007 by snowman89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you find information about length of contract for red wings? just like there was no point in holland signing zetterberg for 2.65 a year for 4 years and zetterberg taking the deal ?? just like lebda taking 650 k for 4 yrs ?? those deals are done all the time , its a risk and if it works out for us then for the next few years we'll have a good deal and have some help on the cap thanks to it , dont forget in 2 yrs zetterberg will get a big deal andif grigorenko ends up being the player we hope he is thats another problem we will have ( although it will be a good problem to have , itll be a cap problem) Where did you find information about length of contract for red wings? ----------- go to www.redwingscentral.com and check org chart i believe it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This makes it unlikely that anyone else will touch him for 4 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless Kevin Lowe likes him of course, Ive read some posts on other places about NHL GM's thinking it is ***** move to sign an offer sheet does anyone have any idea why? This happens regularly in the other sports.... Who we really need to sign to an extension is Nick Lidstrom The following #'s have never been worn (regular season only?): 49 50 53-54 56-70 73-76 78-84 86-90 92-95 97-99 The following #'s have only been used once: 45 - Quincey 46 - Marc Potvin 47 - Jim Cummins 72 - Brad Smith 77 - Coffey 85 - Klima 91 - Federov 96 - Homer We need to get a #89 on the team that would be awesome...
