Good.
Time to shine Riley.
Become a stellar PK'er.
2nd or 3rd liner center or heavy power forward please.

Solid cap hit with solid term. Looks to me like a prove you are worth money and get paid later type deal...
I like Riley, but I hope we're not depending on him as a second line center... He's just not talented enough. And I'm not sure he's capable of playing "big" enough to be a power forward on any line. That said, I like him on the third line, and the contract seems to fit that usage well.
Seems fair. Probably places a Helm UFA comparable at 3-3.5, DK at 4.5 and Mrazek somewhere in the 4's, I'd suspect. Depending on terms of the deals, of course.
I thought it'd be like 1.5-1.75
I'm perfectly fine with 2 though
Yeah, lock up DK long term, like 5-6 years, 4.5ish.
Mrazek's contract is a tough one. His caphit is gonna depend on his term, obviously. If it's only a 2 year bridge, I'd think you're looking at around 3 million on the nose.

I saw him and his role as a former "abdelkader", who had 1.8M old caphit. This is pretty much in line with that. Cap has g8ne up a bit from those days so relatively ~same.
I'd like to see Sheahan also more on the 2nd PP net-front. He looked promising on last Babcock days but Blashill put him more to defensive duties. He can do both.

Riley needs to shoot a lot more. Crash harder, be the net front presence and work those corners like a mother ****ing heavy riot.

Sure you called it a good signing, but then you minimized it.
Is it really that difficult to sincere credit where credit is due ?

I thought that Sheahan would get a 2 year $4 million deal, And this is just slightly above it. Looking like a good deal for both Sheahan and the Wings.

Good compromise contract. Would love for Riley to hit his stride and make this contract a steal.

Eh, you could argue that. But then you step back and realize that there is, I think, a lot more decision making that goes into RFA signings. Future contracts, comparables, is a bridge the right deal to make? Or should we sign this kid up long term and hope for cheap. Klingberg's contract is good example. If they had gone bridge route, which would've been a reasonable way to go since realistically you would have no idea if he could repeat or improve off of that one NHL season. They would probably be regretting that right about now. Sky appears to be the limit with that kid, next contract would have him getting PAID. But they went long term, some people already consider his contract a steal.
To me though, you look at what most people here or at other sites and what they predict our RFAs will get and it typically comes in under most predictions. Think most people were saying Sheahan will get around 2.5mil. 500k isn't a number to scoff at, that money adds up. Thats why I think Holland does an excellent job when it comes to RFA signings.
