Per year. Not bad whatsoever.
31.5 million
This is an excellent signing!!! Regardless of pay. I love this dude. Can't wait to see him suit up in the winged wheel.
He had the second highest point total of his career last season, and his highest two seasons ago... Not saying he'll maintain that over the next six years, but I def wouldn't say he's past his prime.
but he's 32. So, yeah. Probably a good deal for two years, but after that might not be such a good look.
so yeah he'll fit right in.
Good God. The man is either a masochist or simply has no memory. Six years for a 32 year-old is terrible. Here we are. Again.
More years, more money.

Awful length awful.... your going to be massively over paying in 4 years.
When are they going to understand that signing old guys under large contracts doesn't work anymore? It's not 2001.
There is an open thread.
Love this pick up. Immediate help nown which we need badly. And at the end of the deal our young players will have developed into top line producers and Frans can fall back to a low minute role player and key leader/mentor. This is a good signing.
Full disclosure: I've been shotgunning Keystone Lights since just after breakfast.
Sometimes I think Ken Holland drinks too much. In this case, I'm not so sure. Great pickup for a couple years. Without the six year term we would not have him, so... I'll take it.

Believe Nielsen gets $30 million for six years with DET. #Isles had offered seven years at slightly more total.

Frans sounds too much like Franzen. More dead money later in contract. When is Stevie Y coming back? Sooner the better.
You really must be hammered today lol I hope you're right though.
What about Hans?
Yeah... nothing like passing up on Matt Martin for Vanek -- an underachieving forward that doesn't play defense. Should fit in on the Wings roster lately quite nicely.
Signed,
Pavel Datsyuk
