dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Too bad we have such a logjam of forwards. Can't wait until next offseason when we see Sammy, Bert, and hopefully Cleary off the books. I get the feeling we won't see any new UFA forwards in Detroit for quite some time unless they are absolute STEALS. We have so many kids playing great in GR that continue to push for spots. Assuming Tatar, Nyquist are up next year we STILL have Sheahan, Ferraro, Jurco, Jarnkrok, and Pulks all knocking on the door just to name the obvious ones. We won't have THAT many roster spots opening up due to free agency in the next couple years so I expect some sort of trade at some point. I actually wouldn't mind Holland letting Sammy ride pine all year and then use our second amnesty buyout on Franzen at the end of the season (if he continues with his laziness). We would be far better off without that long term deal haunting us in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pucktividi 472 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 Aside from money why would sammy push to avoid the buyout when management and likely coaches wants him gone? Its pretty obvious he is preventing the team from moving forward with his actions. He has to know he is just being a huge pain in the ass. A sore pectoral muscle should not even be allowed to be used as an excuse to not be bought out. What a weasel Agreed,but this is his second stint with the Wings and it's not like he won the contract via arbitration.Ken and co. signed him despite knowing he only cares about the money. Anyway,I think he's still a top 6 material...for the Griffins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 Here's my take on things. Sammy and Tootoo need to stay. Why? Glad you asked. If you know me, you know that I loves me some Sammy and Tootoo, but I'm not taking my personal feelings into account. Here's my reasoning on Sammy. He will not be "better" until after the amnesty buyout window closes. Therefore there are three options. 1) Trade. No good there. Who'd take him? 2) Regular buyout. Better, but he'd count against the cap. 3) LTIR. He wouldn't be taking up a roster space. We could exceed the cap by the amount of his contract for the purposes of replacing him (which is as close as we can come to having him not count against the cap considering that the GR guys are making less).<--- unless the new CBA states differently. Here's why we need Tootoo. 1) We need someone to punch Sammy in the chest daily to make darn sure that he stays on LTIR so Tatar can stay up with the big boys where he belongs. 2 Hockeymom1960 and Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 Its not that bad to wait one year with the amnesty if we can't get any good UFAs and Sammy rides pine all year. The reason is that we can evaluate Franzen this year and see if he is going to be worth his contract into the future - if he is we can use the buyout on Tootoo if need be.

Why waste a buyout on a 1.9/year player who will have one year left on his contract? I'd rather him use it on whatever plug he signs this off season for 4 million to replace flip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
