gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 I think we'll know later today or tomorrow, and I feel pretty confident that he'll be a Wing next year. I don't think he would've come out and put this much thought into it if he wasn't serious, and I don't think he's ready to be done. I couldn't care less about his number either!

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 Some people might be kind of bummed about that. Yep! Thats a no go. Modo will take 27 or maybe even 29 would work. 39 has had some good luck in this town (Dominator, Franzen before). Why the hell not just keep the 9 in it. Either way, lets get it done Mikey!!!!

Superman54 91 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 why not 90? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 why not 90? Not a fan of the high #'s like that even if it has the 9 in it. Just looks odd. I don't know what my point was with this but maybe even the 41 idea but who can ever wear it like Brent Gilchrist did??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 Well, I never expected the decision to take even this long of time (although its been only a few days,) I hope it doesn't drag on too much longer. Sure he has to decide if he wants to play another season, and I guess its a hard decision for him, but from my low income point of view it looks simple, either dont play and make nothing or play and make another million dollars and possibly win another Cup. I know Holland is gonna give him whatever time he wants, but Mike, just sign it, please, or come out and say you're retiring. Just make a decision so the entire Red Wings nation can exhale... 1 redwingfan19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeagueIntegrity 8 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Modano decided to play yesterday, but was told not to reveal it until after Probert's funeral. I expect an announcement tomorrow afternoon or Saturday Morning. 1 HankthaTank reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 Remember, even if he decides he wants to play, according to reports they haven't talked money yet. That's not to say it'll be a huge sticking point by any means, but deciding to play and signing the deal are two different things, and with the Probert funeral and all, I wouldn't be shocked to find out that they've been working on getting it locked down and signed the last few days. I still think we'll hear that he's signed tomorrow afternoon, though could easily see it announced over the weekend or Monday too given the circumstances. But I really think he's going to sign, and that it's more in progress than we know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
