So much for going back to Sweden.

Any guesses on how much $ per season it'll be?

AWESOME. All these people bitching about Holland not doing s*** and here he was locking up one of the most important guys on our team to a three year contract.

Ill be interested to see what Homer got. With the abuse he takes and the numbers hes put up lately, he could command a nice little chunk of change. Undoubtedly he got a raise - he deserves it - but I bet he took under what he could get on the market.

Hell likely end up with 2 25 goal seasons in a row. Considering how valuable he is on the PP, his character itself, and the abuse he takes game in and game out, he probably couldve commanded 2.5M on the open market.

Great. I wonder how much it's for.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Glad to see it.

We need Homer in front of the net scoring the ugly goals.

Good , Holland getting more active around the deadline , only if its an extension

[Lou_Siffer 1]

Thats cool, Homer is a keeper. As long as i dont see the names Schneider, Lang, or Maltby and the word extension in the same sentence....then we'll have a problem!

maybe this is leading to a signing of Dats and Z again, trying to keep the most dominate line in hockey currently together? Good to hear either way

Zetterberg isnt a UFA

[RyanBarnes! 293]

Wow, I was almost 100 percent sure Holmstrom would leave for Sweden after this season.

ugh - I hope its not outrageous. I can see it being a pretty big contract since Homer's been doing so well lately...

Well, now we now that Aftonbladet isnt very reliable.

Agreed.

[stevieisthebest 80]

YES!

good we need to keep homer

Homer signed well before he couldve hit free agency, hes never given the Wings any contract trouble, and apparently they got the deal done pretty quickly. Undoubtedly, it was a price both parties thought was fair.

[RyanBarnes! 293]

They usually are when it comes to this sort of news. I wouldn't be surprised if, eventually, it comes out that Holland talked him out of it.

sweet deal, glad to keep ya around Homer!

[betterREDthandead 58]

Wow, I was almost 100 percent sure Holmstrom would leave for Sweden after this season.

I'm really glad we can put that talk to rest. I was worried myself. Now we'll have Homer locked up til he's 37, a perfect time to re-evaluate.

for Kenny.

I didnt know they were even in contract talks , so it must've been decided pretty darn fast

[wingfanatic4alltime 32]

Awesome deal glad to have homer back for 3 more years. I was honestly very concerned about homer going back to sweden glad to know he is staying.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

YESSSSS!

YAY HOMER!

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

1 word--- BOOOOOOOYAH!

I love Homer! No better man in front of the net exists, and he's the perfect guy to chase pucks into the corner with Dats and Zetts. They're the three brothers! On top of it, there are few who identify more with the organization that does Homer. Hard working with a great attitude and lots of skill!

Thanks, Kenny and Homer!

[kevotron 3]

I am glad there is a wing other than Lids and Z that everyone agrees upon as being a good player. Sheesh!
