Ah yes. I forgot about that

Who was the first?

What do you want Kenny to offer? Nyi offered him more money and term and he still came here. They offered 7X5.5 I like. Has filppula's #51 so he's going to constantly be compared to him for the next 6 years lol.

Lol no he won't. Probably 6X3. Neilson only got that contract because nyi offered 7X5.5 and who knows what other teams offered too.

In fact people would have been furious if he didn't sign neilson. He got neilson at a shorter term and dollar amount than his team (nyi) that he was with for his full 10 year career offered and people are still mad. Had he signed lucic, backes, okposo, or any of the big names from today to any of the contracts they signed for people would still be mad. Kenny can never do anything right around here. I feel like he actually did a good job today. Ya the neilson contract length is long, but it's only really going to hurt us the last 2 years most likely. The vanek signing was very good too imo. Helm contract length and dollar was high, but shouldn't really hinder us going forward too much.

I find it funny most people on this forum didn't want radulov at all originally. But when kh failed to get him he's villanized. Had he signed him for $6 million he would be villanized. Lose lose for kh no matter what lol.

Lmao. Tootoo is not anywhere close to being better than ott. Even at this point in their respective careers, or at literally any point in their careers.

$2.6 million is a steal even if he just puts up the same 18 goals 40 points he put up last year

He messed up? How? He offered $4.5 million. I wouldn't want to pay a locker room cancer more than that. Sure he's skilled but he's a horrible person. In fact Holland was smart not to panic and offer him $6 million

Well buffalo still needs a goalie...

Didn't want him but of course the Wings sign him at the plus side it's only for 1 year so if it doesn't work out they can just let him walk. so much for becoming heavier and tougher to play against lol So the talk of getting "tougher" and "harder to play against" was just to get me through the week? Meh, not super excited but not unhappy about it, and I did tease about pre-ordering your Vanek jerseys a couple of days ago, so there. Can I read Holland or what. Honestly. 2,6 millions one year is okay...but Vanek is done unless he agrees to finally compete. He was terrible recently. Slow turnover machine. I think this is mainly to help our powerplay as Vanek still has his excellent hands.

Lol we get a 40-50 point player for $2.6 million and still you have some people who aren't happy

Islanders offered 7 years $5.5 million Signing the best available center that was willing to come to Detroit and as you said would have led our team in points doesn't make us better? Yup the math adds up. Ken Holland sucks.

I'd put $50 down right now that says we do

The deal was a front loaded 4 year contract. That's all anyone knows. You can ***** that he doesn't want to sign here all you want. But obviously Ken tried to get him and missed. But you're acting like he never even tried. A lot of people today acting like children throwing temper tantrums because they didn't get their way. Guess what a lot of players passed on a lot of teams today. We weren't the only ones to get passed up on.

I doesn't matter what Holland pegs him as. It matters what blashill does with what he's given.

I really don't get this? Kh offers a 4 year deal to a guy who shouldn't even be offered a 4 year deal, and yet here you are bashing Holland as if he never offered said deal and never even tried to get him. Get real

He would get completely ripped to shreds if he made no move. But then again he gets ripped apart no matter what he does

Lol @ no hope for the future.

We still have about $11.5 in cap space after we put Johan on ltir. We still have to sign mrazek, pulk, and DK. Unless Holland is making a trade I don't see us doing anything else. Helm signing sucks. Pure panic move.

I wanted him to. I'm just correcting poels sentiment that no one wanted helm

Actually there was lots of interest in helm and he never hit free agency. Apparently he took a discount. Should do your research before posting. Shouldn't of signed helm but he was likely to sign elsewhere if we didn't

Cheese Doritos brother

Montreal signed radulov. Helm won't be traded

Oh you are very nieve young padawan
