I actually like Big Rig, but this is a brutal contract if that's the real numbers? Unless they plan on playing him top 4, PP, PK, he will never live up to that contract. Quite puzzling.

If Kenny doesn't have a big rabbit to pull out of his sleeve tomorrow; I will for the first time in the history of kenny holland; doubt his GM abilities. It APPEARS we havef****** sat around while everyone is scooped up. This could very well be anotherf****** soft hearted "bu.bu.but, he's a wingy 
" kind of signing.

Even worse is this is going to help drive up ticket prices.
That's about the most retarded thing I've read all day. Congrats

Borrowed from another board...
That was me. You got to it before I could post it here.
If some bored artist wants to make me a signature, feel free to cut loose and do so.
Of course, I could get off my lame rear and do something.

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. You sign Derian Hatcher, I assume you were hung over at the time. You sign Bertuzzi not once, but twice, I assume temporary insanity. You sign Ericcson to that kind of contract, I'm thinking lobotomy. WTH?????

Can't wait to read the "Phoenix: I still think it's a hockey market" chapter of Gary Bettman's autobiography. I'm guessing it's going to be chapter 11.

Heh..
The same guy who's been repeatedly benched for lackluster play just got a 10 mil contract.
Oh happy days..

What makes me mad is Ehrhoff is only 750k more a year.
I am so freaking mad. I don't think Holland is a bad GM, I think the league is broken. The cap went up way too much in one year.

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

It's almost certain to be for four years. It was mentioned in an article or interview recently that Holland and Ericsson were working on 2 year and 4 year terms, with the money around $2m. Changing that to over $3m for three years just whacks it too much. Four years would be $2,437,500 per season, which is right where the reported numbers were at.

This is like taking some crappy employee, calling them inside your office, and instead of letting them go, promoting them to become CEO and a free game of golf. He was terrible the last two years...
