SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2014/06/red_wings_place_forward_jordin.html So Holland will not re-sign Bertuzzi, which is good, but he is considering re-signing Cleary? Color me confused. Anyway, this is good news as he had a pretty poor season and is just too injury prone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Good. I'm perfectly fine with letting every free agent walk, with the possible exception of Alfie. Even then, I think the Wings could afford to explore other options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 About time, thanks for the service and best of luck. The only UFA I'd be willing to re-sign is the monster, Alfie should finally sign a deal with the Sens and retire there even if its just a 1 day contract he deserves it.

xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Although not unexpected, I'm glad to hear its official for both him and Sammy. Both were injured all the time and when they weren't injured they were barely noticeable. The league min is overpayment at this point. Legwand probably won't be back either. It wouldn't surprise me to see Quincey gone too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hillbillywingsfan 794 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 So we are going to let Bert go which is fine...but re-sign Cleary?!?!? Am I in bizzaroland or something? Waiting for the announcement that we are signing Q to an extension of 2-3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Honestly, I never had a problem with the guy, but his time has passed. Hopefully the next Bertuzzi doesn't come with a curse, and can be half as productive as Todd was in his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could see he slowed down considerably during the second half of the season.

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Well he's trying to sign Cleary again... jup but on a two way contract so basically it's a signing for GR and an injury call up here and there, no problem with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanBarnes! 293 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Well he's trying to sign Cleary again...LOL, yes I read that, but there is no way Cleary will play in the NHL again. It is only for show, to make good on that promise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Very surprising. Holland only goes for washed up veterans, so it's mind boggling why he didn't throw a 3 year offer at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
