A Decade Of Hank?

Hey. Is this important?  Malik’s trolling the international scene again.  What’d he find?

A nugget out of Sweden.

“If Henrik played in Tampa Bay or Nashville enough contract negotiations would have already been finished. But Detroit is a special team with many expensive players with expiring contracts. Club management must put together a puzzle to keep all their stars,” says Gunnar Svensson, Zetterberg’s Swedish agent.

Right now Detroit and Henrik Zetterberg are closer than ever.

Everything indicates that there is a long-term contract.

Possibly so long a contract that no Swedish NHL player has had in the past.

Daniel Alfredsson signed a contract of eight years in 2004, which he then broke [ground on] in the fall and negotiated.

But Zetterberg could get ten years from Detroit. One way [for] Detroit General Manager Ken Holland to show for the fans that Zetterberg is a Red Wing forever.

Bottom line:  Swedish media is reporting Zetterberg’s gonna sign and sign soon for ten years.  For how much?

7 million per season.

What’s that mean to you?

Well. It means that the future captain’s taking a hometown discount so that Tick Tock can get down to the business of signing some more bitches to make sure the Dynasty continues for years and years to come ensuring all sorts of happiness for you and yours.

Right? 

Prediction:  He’s signed by the time Gary’s carnival week is done and the players have re-converged on Hockeytown.

7 mil for ten years.  Sounds familiar, eh?

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977.  No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y.  Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation.  There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature.  Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
