What do you do when your top 3 centers are on the shelf with datsyuk, zetterberg, and Weiss. Now you got Helm out and Andersson is your first line center. The playoff streak means a lot to the Illitches. Don't think its a borderline good/bad deal. If they make the playoffs or he's extended I'll say its a good deal.

No way Kesler was going to be in a wings sweater. I myself was hoping for Edler or Ehroff. But when Helm went down last night the need for a center went up tremendously

and that is to make good decisions.  Illitch forced Dombrowski into signing Fielder which turned out to be a terrible contract because Mr. I wanted a world series champ before he died.  Its his money so I guess he is entitled, but DD knew it was a bad contract so he dumped it as soon as he could.  This is another panic move.

He'll get to spend a lot more time in his gigantic home on Lake St. Clair in Harrison Twp (near Mt. Clemens).   He bought up three lots, tore down some houses, and built a monster on the lake.
