Bad idea. He’s a 35+ aged vet. Why would Holland even consider a multi-year deal? If Chelios is happy with his year-to-year arrangement, it ought to be good enough for Drapes too. This takes the loyalty thing a bit too far.

There is no one else I’d rather have take a face-off deep in the Wings zone. More years hopefully means less money. I’m happy to see him scoring some too.

Things are clicking for Drapes so far this season and I hope it stays that way. Contract year or not, he is worth the money he’s paid because 1. the 115% he brings to every game, game after game after game. 2. Face offs. He’s what in the TOP 10 in the NHL??? HOW MANY PLAYERS ARE IN THE LEAGUE??? 3. He is a DEFENSIVE forward, Selkey winner and one of 5 left from the last cup. He’s got play off experience and well blah blah blah blah blah. Y’all know his story. It’s like trying to Pronger to understand he’s taller then everyone else in the league. 
DRAPES is worth a 2 year contract. I wouldn’t go 4 like this last time,(he’d be almost 40) though he signed this last deal just before the lock out. I"m sure Uncle Kenny and MR. I will work things out. HUSTLE SPEED and a GREAT FACE OFF STICK! If he scores goals (more then 5) it’s a great year! Be funny for DRAPES and HANK to be in the Selke race the same season huh? Yea I know I"m dreamin, but that’s what dreams are for.
GO WINGS!!!

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. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome:
A2Y Stuff
-----------------------------
Wanna Feel Smart?
Does confusion make you sad? When you read words like "enigma" and phrases like "Thanks Gary. Ass", do you wonder why mean people speak in languages you don't understand? Fret no longer friend! The A2Y Glossary will bring you great joy and enlightenment.

How Others View The A2Y 19
"Hell, I guarantee the content co-opters at Abel to Yzerman were about to link this article under the heading “Bitter Blues Fans” again right up until they just read that last half-sentance. Thanks but no thanks, you Kukla hangers-on."
--St. Louis Game Time
"I realize it’s the slow summer season, but can this guy tone down the tough-guy histrionics? His posts are fatiguing on an otherwise excellent site."
--A2Y Fan, Eternal_Fields
"I constantly marvel at how Bill (IwoCPO) and his disciples at Abel To Yzerman can be so pompous and full of themselves throughout every regular season, but come playoff time they collapse into wavering puddles of stress and nervousness as they anxiously await the impending and unavoidable collapse of the Red Wings in the post-season."
--Mile High Hockey
"I hate them because they are better than us. Of all the frigging teams…"
--In The Cheap Seats
"It's just a shame that the most classless, uneducated, lowbrow fanbase in the league gets this sweep. Red Wing fans don't deserve their team."
--Thhom
"I really don’t care what fans or bloggers think."
--Drew Sharp
"Why is it you Detroit fans are still so classless when you have such a classy hockey team, with such a professional GM and gentlemen players? I understand that the author of this blog is a manner-less cad, but the rest of you should be better."
--A2Y Fan, Jeff Beaumont
"Have you ever *read* A2Y? Its the most opinionated, juvenile stuff i've read."
--Paul Nicholson
"I actually like the Detroit team and have a sh&% load of respect for them, but their fans are the biggest douches next to Canadians."
--KStewy, PensBlog Commenter
"Just when it looks like we have bottomed out, the 19 hit a new low."
-A2Y legend, Hockeytown Todd
"And for the record, I don't hate the Red Wings, I hate their fans."
--Douche Bag at Puck Daddy who isn't Wyshynski
"You’re nothing but a douchebag ****, c3po. Go f**k yourself, and learn something about hockey in the process. Nothing ruins my day more than seeing your byline on the kk page."
--Hector, A2Y fan, statesman, Pittsburgh Chapter of Jonas Brothers Fan Club President
"I can just imagine the kindergarten teacher’s reaction when the tyke blurts out 'Mommy says Gary Bettman is a f*cking f*ckface! He wants to give ‘Rosby the bad touch.' ”
--Bella, of the 19
"A2Y is what other blog sites aspire to be when they fail to grow up: intelligent immaturity for the juvenile genius set”
--Captain Dennis Polonich, of the 19

Better get it done quick before he scores so many goals that his price goes up.
