Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 7 years @ 6-7 million...wow. I mean, I'm happy we got Dats locked up, but I'd happier if it was Zetterberg getting this deal. AGREED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zetterbergfuturemvp 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 this stupid signing is gonna cost us with our future players , cause when guys like filppula and hudler , and if grigorenko ends up being the good player we hope were gonna have to lose 1 or maybe 2 thanks to holland's brilliance , dont forget jimmy howard and jakub kindl ........its just a matter of time before ken holland is fired and we'll be the next tampa bay lightning , just struggling to get in the playoffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rikadyn 16 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Who else thinks that right about now Zetterberg is kicking himself and contemplating firing his agent? Talk about a payday that HE could've gotten with a shorter deal. I think Zeta is happy with what he has and doesn't judge himself by others contracts, and is willing to sign for a more fair amount than what the inflated prices league wide say he is worth.

motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Gotta disagree with Stevie. They wanted to get it done before playoffs for what? Pavel's agent was the one forcing this - BET! Edited April 6, 2007 by motorcitykid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,049 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Yzerman "This isn't a rash decision by the Red Wings. We've thought long and hard on the contract in negotiations and we took into account what he's done and what he's doing... We weighed all those aspects... We haven't had a top pick, we haven't had a chance for a Crosby, Malkin, Eric Staal.... Datsyuk is our 'top pick", it's imparetive to sign him to a long term deal... This came with a lot of discussion and a lot of thought...." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
