Hatcher#2 13 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 Does anyone think that the Wings will offer this guy a contract this season. I know he is a restricted free agent for the Wings and they did make him a qualifying offer before he went to play last season for Modo in the SEL, so they must be atleast somewhat interested. Tough guy who hits like a truck and is only 27, could be a cheap decent option for the bottom pairing. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 Leino would never had succeeded here. And it's not like he's a great player. Yeah, he puts up some numbers, but only when playing with other great players. He's also not a hard worker and not the kind of player to make his own points by working hard. 4 Byorski, Nevermind, sputman and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
