The anticipated contract is finally done, in spite of what that loud mouthed moron Brett Hull had to say. (never been a big fan)

So anyway, the deal is the longest in Red Wings history at 7 years, and between $6 and $7 million per season. Here is the link.

Good move by the Wings here, the price may be a little steep in the beginning, but as it goes on, it will be a steal if he stays healthy.

Now if only he could play as good as Zetts!

Now let's not start that crap.

Let's just be happy he'll be a Wing for a while.

SS, I'm just playing with you.

6 to 7 mil. I didn't think we'd see that big a number with the new contract.
Figured the top guys would get $4m at the most.

It's ok Roscoe, his payback is that he's American.

Oh boy, now it is on....

Anyone know the longest deal Yzerman ever signed? I'm guessing 5 years.

7 years at $6-7M is really going out there capspace-wise. I like Dats, but dat's VERY serious money considering his playoff history.

And I'm still kinda miffed the Wings dealt Jason Williams for Calder. Calder is -27 and Williams is +2 for the season with each having roughly the same other stats across the board. Good deal...NOT!!!
