SweWings 45 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 From a recent interview with a Swedish newspaper (Linky). Obviously not a guarantee that he'll sign but it's still nice to know that he considers Detroit to be his first choice and will probably give us a discount...

FinWing 26 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 As someone's sig here fittingly says: Z follows Y. It would be great to see him retire with the team that drafted him, a rather rare phenomenon these days. But that's what the Wings are all about, loyalty and longevity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superstarsingh 23 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 Great news. I love Zetterberg man, having his locker near Yzerman's really paid of eh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingsfan4life19 26 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 We can't begin to negotiate with Z, until next year, right?... I think a 7 year contract would be good.... He'll avoid Dats by a couple of years in expiration. I think 2, 7 year deals at about 47 Million would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Hank is the man!! I was just thinking about this a couple days ago. That before he becomes a UFA we need to sign him for around 7-8 years. For him to say that about the Wings is just amazing. Shows how much he loves it here. We love you, Hank! *waits for Rabia to read this* lol Edited July 8, 2007 by HockeyCrazy3033 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Systemfel 33 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) There really isn't anything interesting in the article other than Zetts saying, "If Detroit wants to, I'll sign a contract for the rest of my career." Short recap, though: - He's one of the best players, but still one of the most underpaid. - He can't complain about his current salary. - Girlfriend Emma Andersson (a Swedish TV celebrity) will be moving to Birmingham this fall to live in Hank's 5000 square feet house.

It would be great to see him retire with the team that drafted him, a rather rare phenomenon these days. But that's what the Wings are all about, loyalty and longevity. That's me. And that is why I did that. I would serriously give him a contract for life along the lines of Pavel's. Just do it now so I don't have to worry about it.
