From a recent interview with a Swedish newspaper (Linky). Obviously not a guarantee that he'll sign but it's still nice to know that he considers Detroit to be his first choice and will probably give us a discount...

*fingers crossed* here's hoping that the next Wings Captain stays a Wing for life.

wow you just made my day

[Grind Line 33]

Who wouldn't love to hear their future franchise player say something like that? Very cool.

[FinWing]

As someone's sig here fittingly says: Z follows Y. It would be great to see him retire with the team that drafted him, a rather rare phenomenon these days. But that's what the Wings are all about, loyalty and longevity.

Great news. I love Zetterberg man, having his locker near Yzerman's really paid of eh!

[Wingsfan4life19]

We can't begin to negotiate with Z, until next year, right?... I think a 7 year contract would be good.... He'll avoid Dats by a couple of years in expiration. I think 2, 7 year deals at about 47 Million would be good.

Hank is the man!!

I was just thinking about this a couple days ago. That before he becomes a UFA we need to sign him for around 7-8 years.

For him to say that about the Wings is just amazing. Shows how much he loves it here. We love you, Hank!

*waits for Rabia to read this* lol

She'll be here soon enough.

She'll be here soon enough.

Or maybe she's stalking Hank in Sweden, who knows.

am i an idiot or is this in swedish?

Indeed it is.

[MarkovCocktail]

Indeed it is.

Uh is there a way it can be viewed in English? Or do I have to learn Swedish in order to read it?

Looks as though English is not an option on the site. Maybe one of our Swedes can translate it and post it in English?

[Systemfel]

There really isn't anything interesting in the article other than Zetts saying, "If Detroit wants to, I'll sign a contract for the rest of my career."

Short recap, though:

- He's one of the best players, but still one of the most underpaid.
- He can't complain about his current salary.
- Girlfriend Emma Andersson (a Swedish TV celebrity) will be moving to Birmingham this fall to live in Hank's 5000 square feet house.

That's me.

And that is why I did that. I would serriously give him a contract for life along the lines of Pavel's.

Just do it now so I don't have to worry about it.
