Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 They must be convinced that Brunner is not going to be the real deal. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadgerBob 297 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 How old is Brunner? 27? Give him 8 disappointing years and he'll be worth 3.5 per year and will even get a no move clause. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 I love brunner but i wouldn't go 3 for 3 either. I'd probably so 2 years tho. Before I said I'd go around 2.5 for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 They must be convinced that Brunner is not going to be the real deal. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. this. I assume they were on him about his defensive game from the moment he started practice here.. did it get better all season? I don't think so, not too much anyway.. maybe they think he can't learn to play enough of a two way game to make 3m+? Idk just my thoughts on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poel 28 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 As said alread it's Neil Sheehy, I was wrong about him being Pairse's agent but he is Suter's agent. Here is a profile on him http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/42367-Neil-Sheehy.html Definitely not. Sheehy was Parise's Agent for a long time but got fired a few years ago.

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 Definitely not. Sheehy was Parise's Agent for a long time but got fired a few years ago. And Brunner should be firing him too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonNewEra 84 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 This is bull crap. I have OFFICIALLY lost faith in Holland as a GM in the cap era. Cleary resigning for $500,000 less for the same amount of years... Done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Done. Yet you'll watch next season just like everyone else, settle down. We're all going to bitter about not signing Brunner (and for those who don't like him, you win lol) but when it all comes down to it...no big deal. We signed two great FA's yesterday and we don't need to overpay for a guy who hasn't proved himself 100% during a full-season. It's not the Wings MO to do something like that.

Implying Alfredsson is worth 5.5 million at age 40. I won't watch if I don't like what I see or hear. Unlike some fans I have other stuff to do with my life than waste 2-3 hours on crap I don't like or am disappointed in. I haven't watched the Tigers since mid May for that same reason. The only thing worth noting for them is that Scherzer is undefeated still, but when that ends it's Cabrera or what? I hated last offseason and the lockout so I didn't watch the Wings until the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey is a game, doesn't effect your life and thats just a reminder for you too...whats mind boggling though is how much you give a $h!t for not even watching the sport apparently. If you were watching you would know why a 1 year deal for alfy at 5.5 million IS worth it. When signing a skilled verteran that usually means one thing, the teams trying for the upcoming stanley cup. Unlike any other playoff team last year, Detroit was the closest to stopping the stanley cup champions. Might not mean as much now but it does tell you the redwings aren't as awful as your implying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfie is totally, completely worth 5.5m hell cleay is worth at least 7m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindl Surprise 47 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 I dunno man pro sports is just weird sometimes like if all my favourite players signed on another team and all players i hate signed here, why should I feel loyalty to an organization of people i don't like? especially if i don't live there?

It sounds like you are putting being a fan of the team up against being a fan of specific players. Some people are capable of doing both. I suppose some are not. It seems to me as if you have come to a conclusion. Maybe you should start a Let's Go Damien Brunner message board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 Bringing Brunner in was a low risk-high reward for the Wings last year especially considering it was a 1 yr contract. Yes, the man wants a big pay raise. He does deserve an increase, but that is still yet to be determined. Wings should of offered him the money he wanted only based on production and etc rolled into bonuses. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
