AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

The Red Wings just signed the best defenseman in the game, for less than he is already making!!!!!

That is awesome, I hope he wins this and one more Norris, to firmly plant him self in the top 3 D men of all time, the only question is does it go

Orr

Harvey

Lids

Anyone that thought Lids shouldn't be making over $7 million per on his new contract was kidding themselves. This guy flat out deserves every penny of this new contract, and it won't affect Z's re-signing whatsoever. Within 2 years Lids went from making 19.49% (20% league maximum) of the team salary cap to whats probably going to be around 13.80% of the cap and all he's done in that time is win the Norris both of those years. It's a hometown discount no matter how you slice it and a great deal for both sides.

excellent...

he would easily get the max on the open market, although he was only ever going to play for the wings...

love the deal, love getting lids locked up.

i feel certain we'll sign all our players apart from Cleary...i have a distinct feeling that we'll lose him to free agency, dunno why - i just do

Cleary and Flip are my two question marks, but because of who the other forward free agents are it shouldn't be a problem.

Hell, the Chelios, Quincey, and Lilja souldn't be hard to resign either.

The latter.

Holland the Genius. Now we play the "That Guy Is A Moron" game whenever a player is signed for over 8 mil and is nowhere near worth what he is paid. Hopefully, we get Hank under 8 mil, I'm thinking pretty much the same as Pavel's deal.

HELENE ST. JAMES: Why Lidstrom is so great

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article...5/71226025/1053

Not sure if you guys read this back in June or not but here it is again.

This guy is Great, and that word is thrown around a lot to describe people who aren't but he is truly a great D-man, great Captain (I thought it would be tough to follow THE captain, not for the NEW captain), Great player, and according to Kronner a great person too.

Edit for this quote:

Afterward, Henrik Zetterberg said of Grier's shot: "I was glad that I saw Nick was the last guy there, because that improved on our chances of a save."
