It would be sad to see Filpula gone, but it would give Helm a chance to play on the fourth line all season and such. Either way Detroit is set.

if he gets an offer sheet in the 4mill range we'll find out who he really is. If he signs it he know we'll have to make some sacrifices..

it'll tell us if he's a life long wing or not...

the fact remains though, he's never going to be superstar in this league, and he hasn't made his money already like some, Hossa, etc. He'd be a fool career wise to turn it down.

If I was Filpula, sadly I would probably go to Vancouver and get some money. I would have already won the cup and the wings are stacked tbh

. Honestly if Filpulla does get offered more than 3.7 million or wahtever the cut off is i hope he takes it. Its better for him and for us for a couple reasons.

1: It would be hideous overpayment for him right now

2. Were allready stacked

3. and.... The Canucks can be a lottery team right now and if we have their first rounder it can be a possible top 5 pick. What if they win the lottery and we got Tarvares? that would just be SICK

Four Million for Filpulla? Plus all those draft picks (1st, 2nd, 3rd round picks)??

I can't see an offer sheet on him for that much - maybe one for around 2.75M and a 1st and 3rd but hes not in the 4M compensation range...

Why are you so sure that Filpulla wouldn't accept the offer sheet.

its easy to say No, when your just thinking about it, but when a team is like "you always going to be in Z and Dats shadow, Your never going to get the opportunity to be the superstar that you can be, Here in Vancouver you will be on our top line with Henrik and Daniel, You have the opportunity here to be on the top line and PP.

Why would Valterie choose Detroit over Vancouver? its not like he grew up a wings fan and has an attachment to Detroit or anything.. He just likes the situation here, Who's to say he wouldn't love the situation in Vancouver.

Yes i think flipper will stay a wing though.. But i wouldn't shed a ounce of energy complaining if he left eitehr :D

No surprise here. Hopefully it's not a ridiculous offer - however I wouldn't mind losing Flip and signing Hossa instead. Obviously theres no guarantee we sign Hossa after this season but without Fils salary it would definitely open up the cash needed.

If Vancouver offers him some ridiculous amount then forget it - but I don't think they're THAT stupid to offer up that much. What would we get in return btw?
