yikes

 

[Burt Reynolds]

Hooooooly hell. Seems a bit much..

 

[ToneBone03]

Umm... what? Lol

EDIT: Admittedly, I haven't watched much of DeKeyser (due to not being a Wings fan) but this is a surprising deal in terms of both length and dollar value. Detroit, very obviously, sees value in him.

 

[Tuggy]

Wtf.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Good deal for both.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I hit it on the nail, I said that DDK would get a 6 year $30 million deal that's pretty much the norm here. That's what Rielly signed for and i think that's what Trouba will get as well..

 

[Sempiternal]

Wow, that's a brutal contract. I guess they're really desperate.

 

[Once]

I still think DD has another gear to reach.

 

[Agalloch]

Ok deal but now Detroit must trade or buy out someone.

 

[Duck Off]

seems high to me, but looking at the old Dekeyser thread on the Detroit board; it appears that this is pretty much what they were expecting. Surprised he didn't take less though.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Hooooooly hell. Seems a bit much..

Yeah No that's pretty much the going market, For Shut Down D man that can put up 20-30 points pretty sure Trouba will get the same kind of deal.

 

[PB37]

Good dman with some offensive potential still to hit on.

 

[bleedblue1223]

So, not many people here watch Dekeyser.

 

[iBELEAF]

Joke post?

 

[WingedWheel1988]

This will be a team friendly Cap hit down the road - I am not mad about it.

 

[sabresfan129103]

$5 million per? Yikes.

 

[Tuggy]

Mrazek will get paid in pizza?

 

[Heaton]

So, not many people here watch Dekeyser.

Agreed, I'm a bit surprised by the reactions here. This is a good deal.

 

[Dog]

Seems like a lot from an outsiders perspective

 

[SprDaVE]

That is pretty brutal.

 

[Evergreen]

Ouch

 

[bleedblue1223]

It's what I'd consider fair. Not a discount, not an overpayment.

 

[Torso9000]

Cody Ceci is probably feeling pretty good right now

 

[hototogisu]

I'd say it's on the high end of market value for a RFA PMD, that's for sure.
