What a steal of a contract. I was sure he wouldn’t get him down below 5 years or $8MM. Yzerman is ruthless.
Does this mean we have him for 5 total years or does this overwrite his current contract?
All right I might actually get some work done this week. Way to go Stevie!
4 years, what are we doing. It’s a big package to get him and then we refuse to lock him up long term. I just don’t get it.
Wow. What was Kuby’s cap hit? We’re still going to be like 6-7 schmill under the cap, right?!
🐻:D stays!!!
Yooo, this is fucking fantastic
“ I can finally rest “
Wonder if he will make the drive to see his brother play in Kalamazoo?
This does seem like a big step in the right direction, lgrw
🍾 🥂
Omfg! Stevie is a fuckin legend. Gave up next to nothing in this deal, neither to Sens, nor to DeBrincat. Stevie deserves full respect from his prospects as he fought hard to not give up any good ones so they better show up and hit the next gear.
Stevie with the steal
Interesting fact: Alex DeBrincat scored the first Hat Trick at LCA for Chicago. Glad this got done. I can stop bitching about Yzerman not getting a goal scorer now.
Jacked to the tits. Gonna get to see more goals this year and honestly believe actually compete for a playoff spot this season.
It’s time for next step of the rebuild and go for some playoff hockey again in Detroit.
I want a first line of Cat-Larkin-Ras 😏😏
Stevie Y is a goddamn genius
Patrick Kane to Detroit on one year 3m contract. Heard it here first hHa
Imagine his parents, holding baby Alex DeBrincat in their arms in 1997 — right after the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup and on their way to win another one — and not knowing this child would one day go toe-to-toe in negotiations with Steve Fucking Yzerman and get a contract to play in Detroit.
Time to go get Patty Kane
TRUST THE YZERPLAN
Boner
Some in this sub need to put some respect on Steve’s name.
This is a team friendly deal. You know Yzerman pointed out Boston as a good example of team friendly contracts and Toronto as an example of teams that can’t get what they need to win.
Then he turned the question back to cat and just said, “do you want to come home and win? Or stay on the road and chase the money. I won’t judge you either way. There’s nothing wrong with either decision. But if you come to Detroit it’s because you want to play for Detroit and eventually win with Detroit. And the price of playing here is understanding both in and out of the locker room, and all the way to the bank, that we are a team first.”
This season will hopefully be one of the most entertaining in the past decade or so
Hell yeah. Big day for Wings fans. Super excited for next season. The lines will also be really interesting.
Gave up Kubalik but I’ll take that exchange any day..
I really hope this season is as exciting as it’s shaping up to be
