Ritola appear to be signed there too Ritola has been signed for awhile..... http://www.capgeek.com/charts.php?Team=15 all about retaining assets - good signing, he won't be on the team come end of training camp, but it's good to see us not just giving away assets...

Guest mindfly Report post Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) ooh my bad...it's just ritola has been the main object for a trade if Modano signs here, that's it. Is ritola's contract a 3-year entry level deal? Edited July 15, 2010 by mindfly 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is ritola's contract a 3-year entry level deal? more or less... he already signed his entry level deal to play for GR, but this is more or less an entry level deal, as it's either "make Detroit's roster, or bust" Edited July 15, 2010 by stevkrause 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) pretty sure almost none of that is true. pretty sure all of it is... look for yourself - http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=297 He already had his entry level contract, otherwise, wouldn't have been eligible for GR, if Modano is added, there is a good chance that Ritolas and Miller battle for the final roster spot in camp and the loser of the battle gets traded, the other basically sits in the press box, unless they WAY outplay someone else or there's an injury. wow 500k? how is he going to sleep at night knowing Lebda makes 1.45m!!! hahah .. GReat f'n sign btw. yea, no kidding... I feel bad for any d-man in the league making less than him, as it's got to just feel unfair to them - "why is a pylon making more than me?"

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Great signing by Kenny! A solid 13/14th forward, inked to a one-year deal with an attractive cap hit...which makes him easily tradeable if Holland's able to bring in Modano. Fantastic work Kenny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) That is indeed a very trade-able contract if it comes to that. Meech is a very serviceable #6 and a team in cap hell that is also in need of a 6th d wouldn't mind taking that league minimum hit on. I think the success Quincey had after being a scratch in DET will help make Meech more trade-able, again if it comes to that. And in the event there is no need to trade him, that is a very friendly cap hit for the Wings who just may have a revolving door in the 3rd pairing. EDIT: also as pointed out and as we saw last year he can be the 13th forward as well as 7th d, all at the same time! Edited July 15, 2010 by Opie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 kudos to holland for signing the millers, and meechs of the world for cheap tradable contracts. Now get abby and helm locked up kenny! 2 stevkrause and Z and D for the C reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you'll say that you knew this even though u obviously didnt -- but an elc does not allow someone to play in the ahl. Go re-read the original post - I said more or less, because even though he already had his entry level deal, this is the same type of deal IN THE SENSE that it's a "show us enough to keep you deal"... Also, although it isn't REQUIRED, if you followed the way the Wings brass runs things, they generally don't sign players to their entry level deals, until they're ready to put them in GR... Keep trying though... 5 LadyWildcat, 55fan, Zeowingsfan and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not even close to an elc. there no such thing as being close to an elc. an elc had restrictions, incentives, term limits, etc. Ritola has nothing of that sort applied to him. 4 Rufio, Doggy, dobbles and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetts 236 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 I can't fathom how Holland would consider trading him, unless we sign another defenseman. What happened to defensive depth? If we signed nobody else AND traded Meech, we'd be in a boatload of trouble if any injuries came up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
