Zetterberg Breaking News

Well, well well…Guess who has a Press Confy set up for this morning/lunch?

Z and Wily Kenoyte Holland- getting the job done.

Henrik Zetterberg looks set to announce that he and the Detroit Red Wings have sealed the deal for our future.

Besides dealing with cap issues and the very real very disturbing economy, the Wings have to consider that whatever they pay Z, they will also need to pay Dats.

Talk about issues that could destroy negotiations in any other City. In any other city, these sort of negotiations would go well up to the UFA deadline.

GMs everywhere take note. This is how you do it. You engage your best players in conversations before the season ends, and you demonstrate they have value to you.

A system and relationship of trust between players and the Organization.

Congrats Z whatever you get (and I hope its close to 10MM for at least 7 years), and thank you if its less than what you could have gotten on the open market. Congrats Detroit Red Wings and Thank You Mr. Wily Ken-otye Holland for being brilliant and being a crucial part of a franchise and sport organization unlike ANY other.

Wings fans are lucky to have you both.

What a great way to start the Day.
