Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] D Justin Holl signs with the Red Wings (3 years, $3.4M AAV)

[ShelbyZ]

Trust the Yzerplan

 

[DingDongCharlie]

What is Yzerman doing with his cap and D-core.....

 

[Mr Positive]

The Wings like players who showed good stuff but have more to prove. Seems like a few of these will rise to the occasion but also that a few will flop.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Over three Mill?!?!?!!? WTF!!!!

Isn't this guy a pretty standard dime-a-dozen 6rd pairing defenseman?

 

[Petes2424]

Holl and Chiarot on the same team could be scary some nights.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Man Justin Holl is so underrated. It's an overpay, but people act like he's an AHL D. He's a dependable 4-5 with strong PK utility. That's worth something as a RHD.

5-6 d. If he is in your top 4 you better be having injuries cause no way should he be penciled into any top 4

 

[Mr Positive]

Trust the Yzerplan

Luckily the Wings likely miss the playoffs

 

[Leafidelity]

Thank you Stevie, finally some good news for Leafs fans

 

[Theodore450]

Detroit is never gonna be good

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Paying Ben Chiarot and Justin Holl a combined more than 8 M is quite a choice.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Might be the worst contract of the day. It's close with Korpisalo for me.

 

[MCR74]

Uhh... That's $3.4M total, right?

Yearly, yes.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

OH.

MY.

GOD.

 

[CherryToke]

wtf lol

 

[Curufinwe]

Whyzerman?

 

[Tryamw]

Good for Holl? Not as sure for Detroit..

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

What. Yikes.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

5-6 d. If he is in your top 4 you better be having injuries cause no way should he be penciled into any top 4

He was good as a complimentary top 4 to Muzzin. He can be a decent top 4 option next to someone who's a legit top 2.

 

[BLNY]

Expensive pylon.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Chiarot/Holl combined -276 incoming

[Price is Wright]

Should go down as the worst signing today. You're off the hook Reaves.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Keefe being happy that Holl got paid, but he can't overplay him anymore.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Is the shine finally off Yzerman in Detroit? Both free agency periods this year and last have been bizarre.
