[Hey man nice shot!]

good to hear some news.

Holland's big move.






but no seriously i guess its good to retain a defenseman after losing Lidstrom and Stuart but I really don't see anything what makes Quincey stand out in any sense of the term. Granted he's probably more of a stay at home defenseman more than anything else.

2 years, per Ansar Khan. Still no financial details yet.

Wings have signed defenseman Kyle Quincey to a two-year deal, avoiding abitration. Waiting to hear the figure.

[ogreslayer]

Interested to see what the hit & years are. Slight raise on a 1 year deal so he becomes a UFA at the end of the season is what I'm guessing.

Edit: If indeed 2 years, I'm a little surprised given that he would have gotten just 1 year if it got to arbitration.

Looking 2 years at 3.75 a year. Not too bad anyway.

Should be a good deal. Hope the worst is behind him with the second half last season.

[Red Wings Addict]

Kronwall's cap hit is 4.75 and the Wings secured that 4.75 cap hit in a pretty recent market. Quincey really shouldn't get more than that.

[Shaman464]

To put this in perspective, his cap hit percent last season was 5.2% of the total cap next season he will have a 5.3% percentage cap hit. This is a minor raise.

A little clarification on Q's salary next year, and the year after, from Dreger...

2 years for Quincey. $3.55 mil and $4mil with Det.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

This is a reasonable contract. Lets see what Q can do now...

True but his contract was already fairly inflated when he was with the Avs. So if anybody's is pissed off at this contract then they should take it out on the Avs or... Is it the Kings?... Anyhow, f*** the Avs anyhow. And f*** the Kings. Assholes.

This was settled pre-arbitration actually.

Exactly..he's going to get every chance to prove he is way better then he was last year. Give him lots of minutes and ride him.

I still wonder if he'll pick up a 6/7 d-man.

With Janik gone, does anyone know who the Wings would call up if a defenseman got injured?

Lashoff? I only watched a little of him, but wasn't terrible, pretty reliable defensively.

To be fair he was brought in right around the time the Wings were close to setting the record for consecutive home wins. There was a wee bit of pressure which I'm sure didn't make the transition to a new system all that smooth.
