Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] Red Wings re-sign Dylan Larkin (5 years, $6.1M AAV)

Well that's a possibility, an unlikely one though.

You guys must be more defensive about your team than I am about mine. I wouldn't get offended if he said that about my team.

Don't lump me in with those Martians.

He came in looking to start something and he did.

How many of those players are on the team this year?

You are living in the past. Friggin Lidström was drafted in the 80’s....

Just hold onto the memories of when the Wings were relevant...

They only contended for a quarter century so a few down years and savvy drafting and right back in the thick of it. Maybe they will just relocate to KC , hear its a good market lol.

Jack Hughes to Detroit. Confirmed.

Like how you listed The Wings more recent pics.They might not be generational but serviceable with upside. I was undecided on Kenny for a while but the past two seasons and drafts have put my faith back in him.
I like the direction this team is going. I believe The wings are inbetter shape than Calgary for example.A stuck in the middle team which will probably go down before going up.That was the Wings three seasons ago.
As of late the draft and new contracts have been solid.

No just gave him the facts, facts he did not like or want to hear lol.

I think it makes it more annoying coming from Pens fans, cause they always act like they didn't get a massive amount of luck in winning the Crosby draft, which turned everything around for that franchise, especially seeing as they were extremely close to bankruptcy and leaving the league completely. Without Crosby it is very likely the Pens would either be gone, or would have no cups! So in this scenario of being relevant or good for a fairly short period of time, and then running down a team that has missed the playoffs 2 times in the past 27 years is unnecessary. That and the Pens and Wings since 2011 really aren't rivals.

Umm, why exactly would Holland want 5 years? That seems incredibly stupid. If I were him, 6,7,8 or arbitration.

Not saying I agree or disagree but Ken Holland likes guys to be motivated to play for their next contract.

This provides that motivation IMO, since it gives Larkin a chance to sign a monster deal in 5yrs, while he is still in his prime.
