Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Incentive laden contract is cool by me. But he cant be the only guy is the thing, he needs to come with a Neil/Lappy/etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I love Sully but his injury history scares me, and I don't see him leaving the Preds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 If he's "healthy" then I'd like to be on the record of saying I'd rather have Sullivan on the Wings instead of Hudler...That said Sullivan's wonky back scares the heck outta most GMs. But he also qualifies for incentives. He might take a cheap one year deal to prove that hes still got what it takes, although I dont know about 1.5M cheap. If the Wings traded Hudler for a cheap roster player and a pick, it would be awesome to have Sully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless a team offers over 3.1M for Hudler, the Wings get a lousy 2nd rounder for him. If the Wings are on Sullivan's radar, then the Wings should take Hudler to arbitration (which protects him from offer sheets) and then shop his rights in the process.

If the Wings are on Sullivan's radar, then the Wings should take Hudler to arbitration (which protects him from offer sheets) and then shop his rights in the process. I'd take Sullivan... no idea if he wants to be a Wing. Huds is a lost cause for us... we aren't going to pay him what he is worth on the open market and honestly, we could use a player with a little more grit and size. Huds would be a nice fit on any number of teams that are looking for some offense for their 2nd line. Plus, a 2nd rounder to the Wings is pretty dang good. He could end up being a super star.

anthonyn66 89 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 a 7th rounder could be a superstar as long as we have Hakan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedFX 48 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Sullivan made 2.5 mil last year and the Preds were offering around the same amount. It would probably take more than 1.5 to get him here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted July 1, 2009 would he sign on Detroit for 1.5 million? he would be a bargain Sorry, with his injury history, no. And besides, anybody who stands next to Jiri Hudler and makes Jiri look like a "big guy", gets a ******* double, emphatic NO NO THANK YOU. Seriously, we lose Hossa, 6 foot +, 220+ strong as an ox, we lose Kopecky (thank god) but still 6 foot +, 200+. How much goddamned smaller are we trying to get? Do we get a handicap for being the smallest team in the league? Like, maybe there's a clause in the NHL rule book that says if your overall team height and weight average is sub 6 foot and sub 190 pounds, you automatically start each game with a goal. Is that what this is about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Like I said, Sully is only a good signing if we bring a Lappy/Neil in with him for size. Sullivan is a great player, and plays bigger then he is, and adding a guy like Lappy/Neil to the bottom size makes everyone play bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Yeah, but that's what I expected, and I'm sure you did too. I always simultaneously expect that everyone will take paycuts for Detroit, and that everyone will want more money than Detroit is willing to give. Its that heart-head thing. I honestly didnt think he would make 3.75 though. I was expecting 3.2, which I think is what his salary was prior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
