    Yooooo

    Surely we can figure out something that works for everyone with Mo and Ray now.

  3. Happenings? On our Red Wings Twitter? It can’t be!

    Big time prove it year for the guy hope he is able to ball out. I thought he was pretty bad last year when he was up to be honest so my hype has fallen quite a bit from 2 years ago. Excited to see what he can do this year will a clear path to the lineup

  5. Provide it contact. Hope he can make some strides this year, and hope he gets more TOI to show it.

    The big news we’ve all been waiting for

    Honestly surprised we saw this before Seider & Raymond.

    Hopefully that means that something is coming soon and not that they still can’t come to an agreement so Yzerman just figured he’d knock out Berggren.

    Seems insanely low, hope he likes it lol

    Awesome deal, really hoping he pops off and earns himself 3-4 millions on the next contract!

    With this deal in place the Raymond and Seider deals becomes bit simpler to sign.

  10. Thatā€™s fair for him

    Heā€™s fighting for a middle 6 spot assuming 2 of Kane/Cat/Tarasenko have those locked thereā€™s really only 3rd line wing with Copp and Ras

    At thatā€™s without considering Kasper, Mazur, Danielson or MBN

    Heā€™s not a 4th liner either

    Will be interesting to see if and where he sticks

    This must mean Mo and Raymond will be done soon right? The feeling was Berggren kinda got whatā€™s left?

    Iā€™m gonna miss seeing him in GR, that playoff run had so many magical moments. Canā€™t wait to see what he does in Detroit!

    Is it an NHL-only contract?

    I really like the guy. I think two years ago he solidly earned his spot and he played his ass off. But the team got better, and I’m not sure he improved enough to really stay on the team. It sounds like the coaching staff wanted more out of him, and more defensive responsibility.

    But he is so good in the AHL it’s crazy. I went to I think five Griffins games last year, and he was almost always the best guy on the ice when he was on. He and Edvinsson were so far above the other guys it wasn’t even funny.

    It just goes to show what kind of jumps there are between the leagues.

    I hope he steps up and earns that spot again, and I believe he can.

  14. At this price, especially, this is a good deal! This is him getting his chance to prove where he belongs, and not overpaying here helps with affording Mo and Razor! Let’s hope the good news keeps rolling in today!

    Wow, I thought he could hit 1 million at least. Makes signing Mo and Ray even easier.

  16. Y’all wanna bet Seider and Raymond get signed within the next week

  17. AmeriCanadian98

    Absolute prove it deal for Burger man. Hope he does prove it and can make a little more next year

  18. WaylonLemmyJohnny

    I can feel it.

    Seider and Raymond announcement coming any minute now…

  19. MediumToblerone

    8M a piece for Ray and Mo should be plenty. Yes, theyā€™ve been our best pieces, but we arenā€™t the Leafs. Weā€™re not just throwing out 10M contracts to everyone.

  20. Will he still be an RFA after this? Looks like a major prove-it contract if so.
