Rivalred 630 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 This is a good thing. With the whole Kronner hampering knee injury, wonder if Meech will be moved or Ritola. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 FINALLY. i was checking everyday since modano signed to see if abby got his contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Cool. Done deal. They said early in the summer, that Abby and Helmer wouldn't be signed til August! At least they tell the truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Solid. Now two guys will have to be moved. Meech is pretty much a sure bet to be gone, then it's a toss-up between Miller and Ritola. Going to be an interesting year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeytownRules19 902 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 According to Craig Custance's twitter, he is a sporting news hockey writer "Told that Justin Abdelkader's annual salary is $787,000 on two-year deal he signed with Red Wings."

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Not that there was any concern of a deal not working out, its nice to see nonetheless. That'll wrap up our postseason. Great job this summer by Kenny and Co! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 I thought he had to get at least a 5% raise off his ELC. That must be based on the previous seasons' salary. Last year, Abdelkader's base salary was $710,000 with a potential performance bonus of $140,000 (which he must not have met). Since he made more than $660k but less than $1 million he was due a 5% raise, which would've put him at no less than $745,5000. Not too shabby if you're Ken Holland!

If true, Great Deal for the Wings! http://twitter.com/CraigCustance Hey! looks like what I reported from when I spoke with him at the bar is actually more true than what other posters tried to claim.
