The report I'm talking about had Holland saying explicitly that Hudler for sure has a one year out clause. SuperOne: I'm pretty laid back when it comes to this. No need for extra stress by taking it too seriously. I spend waaaaaaaaay too much time and energy on it already anyway, putting myself in the ultimate position for my team to win by gathering information. I didn't think my team would be competitive for two more years after starting out as a crappy expansion team and then starting a rebuild. Last year was in theory the first full year after I started my rebuild and I ended up 5th (out of 12) before the playoffs and lost in the final. This year I'm 3rd right now and my chances of winning are pretty damn good. So I'm pretty good here and it's all fun. If I lose that's no big deal because it's about the big picture for me. All of it is fun to me. - sentium Mon, 28 Dec 2009 12:06:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2463-top-fantasy-hockey-events-of-2009#comment-3517 ...Hudler will play in Russia this season and possibly the next. He may or may not return to the NHL, but if he does return he must abide by the two-year deal awarded to him. GM Ken Holland expects Hudler to return (via Detroit Free Press) and believes he has an out clause in his contract after his first season in the KHL. full article here - http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2009/8/3/974060/hudler-awarded-5-75-million-in - Fantasy Guru Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:17:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2463-top-fantasy-hockey-events-of-2009#comment-3516 " it's impossible to anticipate everything, or even most of it. " With that mindset you just created a self-fulfilling prophecy and is taking the easy way out. My mind is open to the possibility and if I don't succeed, I'll die trying. - SuperOne Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:13:31 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2463-top-fantasy-hockey-events-of-2009#comment-3510 I'm going nuts here, trying to find the news post when Holland said that Hudler has an out clause after one year. No luck so far. Anyway, he said that he plans on going to Moscow for a visit sometime during the season to speak with Hudler and see where they're at, how he's doing and so on, and in the same report he said that Hudler does have an out clause. I remember reacting to it because all other reports before that had said that Detroit HOPED that he would have an out clause. That was the first time anything was reported differently. Too bad I can't find it now. - sentium Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:34:31 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2463-top-fantasy-hockey-events-of-2009#comment-3509 I didn't know about that clause - thanks Sentium - Dobber Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:24:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2463-top-fantasy-hockey-events-of-2009#comment-3507 Just a minor note. Hudler has an out clause that he can activate after one year of his two-year contract. At least according to Ken Holland. Other than that, the list is perfect for showing that it's impossible to anticipate everything, or even most of it. Some things just hit you out of left field and there's nothing you can do about it, except ride the wave. - sentium Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:59:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/darryl-dobbs/2463-top-fantasy-hockey-events-of-2009#comment-3506 to put it another, less grammatically correct way, has made it a one-some. While thousand-category leagues bring some other guys a little closer to him, in most leagues there is NO d-man within shouting distance. As far as Ovie/Cros/Malks, if you miss getting one of them there are 2 other guys to get.... in a position-restricted league, the advantage Green gives his owner reminds me a lot of the days when we use to break up Gretzky's G and A into two players. You can debate it, of course, and it depends on your league's parameters, but yeah, there hasn't been anything like him in a long time. Gotta love it. - Finnbar Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:28:28 +0100
