Just terrible.

 

[Cal Vandelay]

He's an elite player - Babs

 

[Filppula]

Horrible. Just flat out horrible.

HORRIBLE.

 

[Jkalapeno]

What the **** is wrong with Ken Holland???

 

[ChadS]

If that's a discount...

 

[Shaman464]

I have no idea how to react to this, other than to say I hope this is an elaborate joke. This is pretty much the highest he could have hoped for in free agency.

 

[Reddwit]

Who the hell is advising Holland? This is a ****ing terrible deal. On what ****ing planet is a 30 point player worth nearly $4M for FIVE years? And BEFORE free agency too?

God ****ing god. I have no faith in Holland anymore. Get this dude out of here.

 

[The Geelee]

Horrible contract of the same ilk of Abdelkader's deal.

 

[njx9]

At least it's not a surprise, I guess.

 

[abbbaron]

Bravo Ken, keep those immovable contracts coming. Putting Datsyuk's cap space to good use!

 

[DatsDeking]

Detroit's very own Andrew Shaw contract. Not happy with this.

 

[wings95]

Not bad. At least it is not 5 million. Glad to have his speed back. The Wings need it, IMO!

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Dear god.

No words

 

[ricky0034]

the Wings are paying Abdelkader and Helm a combined 8 million+ for the next half decade as they enter their 30s

just let that sink in

 

[Vladdy84]

Ugh.

If he plays in the bottom 6. Whatever.

Helm-Riley-AA?

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Hehehe

Love it

Ugh.

If he plays in the bottom 6. Whatever.

Helm-Riley-AA?

Lol, at close to 4m/year? Helm is getting top 6 IT and PPIT.

 

[Heaton]

5 ****ing years, rofl.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Nailed it. Holland is so predictable. Our big free agency signing!

 

[Syckle78]

No words...just I've got nothing.

 

[Vladdy84]

Lol, at close to 4m/year? Helm is getting top 6 IT and PPIT.

No he's not.

 

[The Geelee]

Both Gator's and helm's contracts will be albatrosses in 3 years. Book it

Having 8+ mill. tied up in 2 should be bottom sixers is going to hurt this team very soon.

 

[Run the Jewels]

5 ****ing years, rofl.

Had to get the AAV down so it looks like a good signing to people who pay no attention to term. Classic Holland. Hopefully he only has one more offseason next year to **** all over himself before he retires.

 

[chances14]

Holland is gm'ing with his heart and not his head. Remember holland is extremely close to helm's fiancée.

Holland has destroyed this franchise and needs to be fired asap
