| Prior to the season, his agents negotiated a 15-year guaranteed deal with the Detroit Red Wings GM: Salary of $250,000 for each of the first four seasons followed by a $60,000 yearly salary that would increase annually by $10,000 until 1993?94. The deal also assured him of a front-office job with the Red Wings once he retired as a player. As directed by his agent Alan Eagleson, he waited until the next day to sign the contract at a press conference. The next day, after being pressured by other NHL owners, the Red Wings owner refused to actually sign the contract. Ended up playing the 1979-80 season without a contract assumed to be for $150,000 as in the previous season and sued his agent for $1M+ for negligence by misleading him into thinking the contract was signed. Subsequently, in 1984, a judge from the Ontario Supreme Court rejected the damages claim, ordering Nedomansky to pay Eagleson $71,000, along with additional undisclosed fees to cover his legal costs. | |||
