motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theirishjig 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 I love datsyuk and I wanted him to resign as much as anyone but I would not of gave him 7 years if I still ended up paying him over 6 mil i would of paid him 6.5 for 5 years but not 7. Holland should of got some kind of discount for signing him to that long of a contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
