Tim.D 176 Report post Posted June 10, 2012 Source Quote DETROIT – Wings GM Ken Holland said he has me with Jiri Hudler’s agent, Petr Svoboda, and that they’re prepared to offer him a contract.“He’s 28, he’s coming off a 25-goal season,” Holland said. “He’s got the right to go to free agency. We’ll see what happens. Right now Jiri will continue take time to determine what he wants to do.” Holland plans to meet with Tomas Holmstrom sometime this week regarding his status for next season. Holland said he’s had a few conversations with the agents for restricted free agents Quincey, Justin Abdelkader and Darren Helm and will do so again before the draft. 1 starkiller42 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted June 10, 2012 Like I said in the other thread, Jones got 4M, Hudler will want at least that and some team will offer him more. Holland will not pay that price for someone as one dimensional as Hudler. 1 Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That has to to be the dumbest thing I've heard on this board in a long time. Why? Holland could announce tomorrow he and Hudler have decided to sign him to a 3 year 9 million dollar contract. Meaning they have locked him up at a reasonable rate for a guy who can give you 20+ goals and 50+ points a season. 6 Uncle Danny, Zetts, P.

YougotDatsyuked 24 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 3 for 9 would be nice but it's not realistic. However politics come into play here and Holland wouldn't want to piss off his agent so you make him a fair offer that will drive up his price elsewhere. 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 While he had a great year last year, it was a contract year, meaning he could go back to average old Hudler next season which is the most concerning point. 4 bdavis, Crucial and Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_redwing 495 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 Anser Khan reporting that it's unlikely he'll sign. We know Hudler is money motivated. Doubt we'll see him back. Remember the cap hits on Franzen ($3.95m) and Filppula ($3.5m). He's not going to be offered more than that, weak market or not. One dimensional player with very little postseason product. He won't be missed as some seem to think. 3 LidsFan, Z Winged Dangler and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think his slow start the year after playing the KHL had to do more with ice-time and his role on the team as soon as injuries hit and Babcock had to use him he piled up 31 points in the last 42 games of the year (a 60 point pace) despite often being relegated out of the top 6 On 6/11/2012 at 2:55 AM, irishock said: Bert-Pavel-Parise Flip-Z-Mule Cleary-Helm-Miller Nyquist-Abby-Eaves Hudler doesn't have a place on the roster if we sign Parise.

One dimensional player with very little postseason product. He won't be missed as some seem to think. As long as we add some offensive contributors I won't mind. Hudler is a slow, short, weak forward, but he at least was able to score at a good clip, and losing him to free agency isn't exactly a net gain at this point. 2 Shaman and Uncle Danny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
