Meh

 

[obey86]

garbage signing

 

[Legionnaire11]

Meh

He'll be a good veteran voice in the room and a great mentor, showing the kids how to be a pro in the NHL.

 

[izzy]

ending his career where it started

cool

Steve Yzerman starts all rebuilds by signing Val Filppula.

 

[jetsforever]

He's baaaaaaack!!!

 

[kthx]

Great bottom 6 player. Congrats.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Wait... I though Holland wasn't GM anymore?

 

[PullHard]

I guess this is what I get for dunking on the Oilers in that other thread...

 

[wingfan]

We literally have like 40 depth centers on the roster already, this makes absolutely no f***ing sense..

 

[Eastopia]

Typical Holland move, always signing his retrea... oh, right.

This franchise is filled with good veteran voices and mentors. Now that Babcock is gone maybe Flipper will thrive. He won't, who am I kidding.

 

[HansonBro]

Its like a circle

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Typical Holland signi...... wait.....

Last year was a total fluke for him. Good luck regardless though.

 

[Go Wings]

2nd last here we come baby

 

[Muuri]

What happened to the Oilers deal?

 

[LarKing]

It’s for 2 years, not 7. Difference between Holland and Yzerman.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Back 'home', didn't expect this

Quick photoshop I made of Filppula in a Wings jersey:

 

[The Red Line]

Needs more Hudler, Cleary, Sammuelsson, Bertuzzi.

 

[PWJunior]

Good for Flip to get 2 years.

 

[Stive Morgan]

That's pretty cool.

Ugh
