I'm thinking 18 million.

 

[sully6one]

I bet $20M

 

[ArGarBarGar]

100 Million Dollars.

 

[PullHard]

I can't see it being more than $18M, probably between $16 and $18M

people who wanted short-term aren't happy.

people who wanted long-term aren't happy.

time to riot.

 

[PullHard]

Apparently $4.75M hit according to war on ice ?

Little higher than I would have hoped/ thought, but still in the range of fair for both team and player

 

[Chance on Chance]

nice, I'm guessing around 4.5 per

Nyqvist w/DET is $19M over four years

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I'm okay with this.

 

[Hammettf2b]

I'm fine with this

4 is much better than some speculations about 2 or 3, at least in my book. I'm fine with 4.

Almost!

Nice! Good price and term for Nike, I'm guessing Holland knew he had very little negotiating power this time around.

 

[dragonballgtz]

I am really surprised he would take a deal that would take him into his 30s for under $5M AAV. Red Wings won on this contract

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Now we can set the goose loose again

 

[Claypool]

I feel like he's underpaid given what the rest of the players are signing for.

 

[Tomas W]

Ok lets hope he can continue to develop. When he's on his game he's a pretty dangerous sniper with some playmaking skill too. He need to show up better in the PO's.

It doesn't actually. He'll be 29 when it expires, and he'll be up for a big UFA summer if he manages his cards right.

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

Excellent. Perfectly fair deal that eliminates short-term risk of losing him, keeps him in Detroit during what should be his prime years, and plenty of time to evaluate where he fits in long term and extend him if necessary.

 

[Flowah]

Decent contract. Fair all around. I like the term.

 

[InjuredChoker]

It doesn't actually. He'll be 29 when it expires, and he'll be up for a big UFA summer if he manages his cards right.

and many, if not most, if not all of those years are most likely to be his post-prime years... only thing i don't like about this.

 

[Heaton]

Excellent. I wasn't really looking forward to a two year deal.

 

[Konnan511]

Not bad for a 50+ point 25+ goal scorer for 4 years.
