Due to persistent rumors this summer about the Red Wings potentially bringing Dan Cleary back despite Ken Holland having told him he isn't going to actually make the roster, I've noticed a lot of talk around the internet about the possibility of the Red Wings honoring the (both alleged and potentially illegal) promise from Ken Holland to Dan Cleary to make up for him sacrificing a(n also alleged) three-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers in order to return to Detroit. I want to clarify this for the Cleary situation and for any other situation that may come up in these regards in in the future.
