Snepts, you were a great player, and so bang on now. But yeh seriously, this isn't great news.

Believe me it aint as simple as that. And I just dont see the justification with rushing this before the playoffs, if Pavel wants to stay so bad, as both he and Holland have said. Hey lets talk money, have a great playoff, and we get back to the table. Ya might even get a little more dough. That seems reasonable. I think there's something to the fact that fans, and both Detroit sports stations are a little confused as to why this was done now. Holland simple babbled and said he figures Pavel is "ready" and is top tier- player in this league.

He said next year. I think he meant 2 years.

They did on the radio interview, Holland sidestepped it.

Well Hank is worth what now? 10 million? Cmon.

I know. I think of Crosby, and 7 years doesn't sound that bad, but still - 7 years? Hahaha.

Nothing said yet. Weird.

Now Holland's been asked about Hank. What about what he is now gonna deserved.

Since when. The numbers are very important to us fans. If not now, I assume it will be on the news later.

No need to rush this. We're talking likely near 6 million. For 7 years? Im not concerned with Nicklas retiring and the cap issue. Point blank he has not performed the way you'd expect to get this kind of deal. Are we the Toronto Maple Leafs? Or Islanders?

Gotta disagree with Stevie. They wanted to get it done before playoffs for what? Pavel's agent was the one forcing this - BET!

Did I miss the numbers? They haven't said them.

7 years! Give me the numbers dammit. Holland can't even say his name right. Who exactly is Pah-Vell?

We'll know when the playoffs are done.

Keep on topic. Signing Bertuzzi? FOR WHAT? He's done nothing to warrant a contract being handed out on April friggin 6th. Gimme a break.

If Holland actually signed wingers, Pavel would be our # 2 center. The PC is coming up ... but it's for 7 years. SEVEN!

These next 2 games might get real silly. I'm gonna say it -> back to back games the Hawks simply do not send a puck over any red line except the one at center ice. A shell of who they use to be, but I love any Original 6 matchup. Plus, we always beat 'em. Gooooooooooo WINGS!!

Goals for.

At 6 million or close to it, any other GM can feel free to sign him this summer. No thanks.
