Rumor: Dan Cleary leaving

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 11s

Lots of action on UFA winger Dan Cleary. Wings still in the mix

No! No mix! Throw the mix out! Don't mix anything!

 

[Brick Top]

No way..... No. Stop. Don't do it.

Why is Holland offering 3 years? TERM PACE TERM PACE.

No freaking kidding!! After the Weiss and Alfie signings, I went over to a co-worker who's actually working today and not monitoring the FA activity (sucker) to let him know the curse of Cleary has been lifted, there's no room for him on the roster, etc. And there was much rejoicing in the office.

And then St James, the puppet for Holland, says we're still pursuing the guy. Even 1 year is 1 year too many at this point. But 3 years?!?! Yikes.

 

[Amyklas]

I want Wings to not be in this mix. He needs to go

 

[RedWinger10]

According to LeBrun there is a lot of FA action on CLEARY and the wings are still in the mix

 

[BF3]

Nothing is over when it comes to Holland/Babcock/Cleary...

...until he signs somewhere else!

DID WE JINX THE **** OUT OF THIS?

 

[chances14]

the more action on cleary, the better. way more likely holland gets outbid

 

[Syckle78]

Well if we sign Morrow it slams the door on Cleary. Didn't want Morrow,now I do. GTFO, Daniel!

 

[Amyklas]

Bwaahahahahahaaaa

I just saw that. Can you imagine the Ducks press conference, "Don't worry fans, losing Bobby Ryan may be tough at first, but don't worry, we landed Dan Cleary!!!"

The Ducks won big time on the Bobby Ryan deal

Yeah a lot of teams need a head custodian these days....

I wouldn't mind having Cleary back, but honestly it'd have to be at half of what he wants--like $1.5M AAV for 2 years--which is never going to happen.

We lose grit, but let's just move on.

Wings also lose the 10th man into the zone every shift

What grit? He looks gritty or homeless. He's weak and frail.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

I don't understand our signings today.
We're older.
We're softer.

We signed two guys that need first unit PP time to produce a damn thing

Craig Custance ‏@CraigCustance now

Told Penguins in the mix for Dan Cleary today as well.

 

[ProPAIN]

Penguins in on Cleary

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Alfredsson
Franzen-Weiss-Nyquist

is an elite top six.

The only grit we would lose is the gritting of teeth of Wings fans watching this steaming pile playing a top 6 role.

 

[Chance on Chance]

Cleary signs with the Pens and scores 2 gaols in game 7 of the conference finals

It takes a lot of grit to tuck your tail between your legs and scream obscenities at the opposition from behind the ref. Cleary has that in spades.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Alfredsson

THIS

Neither of which touch his stick...both go off his head as he falls yet again

 

[Wolverine Wings]

...

Like I said for Morrow, if he's cheap and doesn't have a long term deal, it is hard to hate. But we all know Babcock will play Clearly in the Top Six until his legs fall off, so I really hope somebody signs him.
