I don't see how Tatar doesn't get an identical deal to Nyquist. As far as AA goes I'm curious as to what the hold up with that is. I have to imagine they are low balling the hell out of him.

Xavier Ouellet signs 2 year deal with #RedWings. AAV of 1.25 Million.

there it is

don't mind that deal at all

For what it's worth that's a very humble deal from Ouellet which I respect.

Not to get anyones hopes up here, but if Tatar files, it opens up another buyout window. With XO re-signing, Wings now have 9 D needing to clear waivers.

Why does Ouellet get 50% more than Jensen, not sure I understand the disparity between these two.

Jensen is almost 27 with 49 NHL games played.

XO is 23 almost 24 with 80+ NHL games played.

Neither are good, but no team was gonna pay Jensen as much as XO.

Holy smokes. Jensen is really almost 27? He did look pretty good last year though. Hopefully he is just a really late bloomer.

Same here, Pretty much what i figured he would sign for.

More of 7D in reality, because Witkowski is gonna play as a forward and Sproul's injury is gonna put him on LTIR at season start.

Or hes overpaid for what he is. I would have offered league minimum and let him walk if he didnt like it.
