Darren Helm agrees to 4 year, $8.5 deal in Detroit.

A bit much perhaps? Anyways good signing, nice to have him in the fold for a few years!

Edit; Damn, one minute too late ..

AAV of $2.125M

I had him slated for a 2 mil Cap hit. Great deal Kenny! Now all Kenny has to do is re-sign Abs and Quincey. Sign Parise, Suter, Moen (or Prust) and Harding.

Yes! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

This is doubly good news in that we get to enjoy Helm's chaos for four more years and his rehab must also be going well to give Holland his signature!



Also I'll do the OPs dirty work: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=398711

i dont believe harding will happen

[ogreslayer]

Good signing & while it seems just a little high right now, I think over the 4 years that will end up being a good price, maybe even a little bit of a bargain. So Abby next but how many years/$s? 2-4 with a hit around $1.6-1.8 maybe?

[Jedi]

Woohoo! 4 more years of using this after a Helm goal!

All the UFA coverage I've seen is pointing to Harding wanting to go somewhere he has a chance to be the #1 guy. I agree, don't think it will be Detroit.

He will be a steal in the last two years of that deal

[Hatethedrake!]

Yes! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Oh Lord. I don't think I can ever look at Helm the same way again.

Beauty of a signing

I disagree from what ive heard, Harding love Minny and wants to be the number 1 there. He currently is in talks with Fletcher and is looking for a multi year deal. I dont necessarily believe hell stay there, but he seems willing too.

Reports are he wants to go back to Minny.

Helm Deal ... Like

[WizardOfOz30]

I am very happy he will be around for another 4 years. He will do great things as he improves his skills.

A bit much? Hell, 2 million is a heck of a deal for Helm. Great signing.

[Jesusberg]

Not an overpayment by any means. It's right on par with comparable contracts, plus there's the (very likely, IMO) chance that he will grow into, and play above the contract.

Very pleased with the signing.

[drwscc]

Not Bad.
