Nev 1,085 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Great news - of course would love to know how much for, but you gotta know that this needed to be done before we could resign Hank in the summer. Wonder if 2010 will be his last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingslogo19 281 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Great to see him signed. He's the best Dman to ever play the game that's not Canadian. Here's to Lids retiring in a Wings jersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 This is great news indeed. Now i want to see how much room is left to get a deal done with Hank. I'll be honest, i thought that we would get a deal done with Hank before we resigned any of the current players. Glad Nick is sticking around, he is the man.

vangvace 12 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) Link was just updated with the details... still sweet for both sides. Lidstrom will earn US$7.45-million a year under terms of his new deal. He is making $7.6 million this season Shannyfan, They are already predicting the cap to jump up again like it did this last offseason so I wouldn't lose sleep over resigning him. Est. $34.9 Mil tied up on 13 skaters as of this signing for next year. Edit: Details Edited December 26, 2007 by vangvace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
