Although it could be argued that this is a good thing for the Flyers as Cleary is saving Holmgren from himself. 3 year term at almost $3 million per would have been crazy for Cleary.

No he didn't. Carters agent said he did but Holmgren said his comment was "he had no intention of trading him". Intentions changed so he traded him. This is the same crap as Rich Winter saying the Flyers told him they weren't buying out Bryzgalov, which was a lie also.
