Link to the pressconference about Zs signing?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Z says he told his agent that he wanted to stay and finish his career here.

Kenny interrupts and says, "If I had known that, I would've tried to get you a little cheaper." :lol:

-----------------

They asked Illitch what his secret was (besides winning) that makes Red Wings want to stick around?

Kenny replies, "We take them out and party with them!" :lol:

Then discusses how they're a family atmosphere and they take care of their guys. Then goes on to talk about "trust" and if people trust you, you've got 70% of the problems licked.

-----------------

Babs says he believes when he lines up Hank against anyone in a series, Z will have worn them down by the end.

-----------------

Holland says they're only in position to sign 1 more player before July 1st.

That motherf***er's going to sign all three of them! Holy s***.

He should've pulled a Tony Stark & just said, "You know what, we are going to sign all of them."

... If you've ever seen Iron Man.

I'm a dork.

Holland did explicitly say that he and Hank worked together to get a cap friendly number down, as the greatest Wings of the past have. Some reporter tried his best to make Hank uneasy by mentioning how the deal seems lucrative now, but down the road might be less so, but for one, seventy-two million dollars is still going be a ton of money in a decade, and Hank himself said he was happy with it even with potential uncertainty.

Besides, if he invests the money properly (which should be fairly easy when the economy starts recovering, whenever that is) he will pretty much effectively increase his paycheck during those later years by a large margin.

You could really see the relief on Hank's face now that this is done :)

He definitely doesn't like these negotiations, and said it's been on his mind constantly and he wanted this to be last time he had to do it.

Hopefully this means he'll be back to his old self now..

Btw, I think Emma is Hank's fianceé, they're not married yet as to my knowledge.
