gurnsy200 17 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Finally!! Maybe if he goes unclaimed he'll just straight up retire. Wishful thinking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Awesome, about time. What does this do to our cap hit? I know that's been mentioned quite a few times around here but I can't remember now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nawein 324 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Awesome, about time. What does this do to our cap hit? I know that's been mentioned quite a few times around here but I can't remember now. 100k relief. So not much but as long as we have guys on IR it's all about roster spots. And it's about freaking time this happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FifeHockeyNut 57 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 I think this is one of those threads where there isn't a discussion to be had, it was the right decision by Kenny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 it gives us $100,000 cap relief but a much needed roster spoy. this is interesting thou as many reports say he wont be claimed on waivers, I got a hunch that Kenny has sounded some teams out about Sammy, they wont take on his salary but may thru waivers. He could do a contender a job on their 3/4 line maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gurnsy200 17 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 I like this because they chose to dump Sammy rather than send down a kid who's been playing great instead! 2 Motown4013 and Internet.Unknown reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 This is 100% the right decision, so happy it's finally happening. I would have been disgusted if he played 1 more game for the Wings. Sorry Sammy. I actually liked you way back in your first time here, but this 2nd time around was just a huge failure. 2 GoWings1905 and haroldsnepsts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FifeHockeyNut 57 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Finally, a good roster move decision! Cleary next and we'll be getting somewhere. Given that Cleary has been wearing an A during this last few weeks I'd be surprised if he gets waived, will have to wait for the off-season for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Good decision. We shouldn't run into cap-problems untill Weiss returns and the team is playing great without him so this is the right call here. But if he stays unclaimed he unfortunatly has to be called up when Weiß returns. I don't see a workaround for this capwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Playmaker Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Feel bad for Sammy, but he just didn't do enough to merit a roster spot. Forgive me, but I just don't. Don't know why. I felt bad for Eaves, Tootoo and others. I have to say I just don't feel bad at all for him. 1 Motown4013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
