This is ugly on a couple levels. Term, value, injury-history.

I like Helm but his skill level and production is not hard to replace. In fact, you already have Athanasiou on the team, who can easily become a better player.

These are kinds the contracts that separate the bad teams from the good. Thanks Holland.

Injuries, lack of production, declining arc of player, guy almost 30....Lets lock him up for the next 5 years and over pay him - Typical Holland move

Anyone in the Detroit area want to organize a protest outside of the Joe to remove Holland? I cant take this anymore

I was thinking the same- he's already been displaced by Anathasiou. Letting Helm and Miller (one of NHLs most useless players) walk would have aloud Detroit to chase a much needed Defenseman.

I wanna die. How the hell can Kenny say that he will give AA, Mantha and Bertuzzi every oppurtunity to make the team and then go and resign Darren Helm??? For five ****ing years? If he doesn't make a trade for a DMan and make room for Mantha and AA I will take a dump in Kenny's mailbox.

Long time Detroit fan here sadly beginning to like other teams who more resemble the Detroit team I grew up watching:

Tampa -Yzerman
Dallas - Nill (Janmrak + Backman for Cole lololol, thanks Kenny)
Chicago - Bowman
Toronto - Shanahan (laugh but Toronto's past 2 drafts have been excellent and they've even signed 2 Russian guys who look to be impact players this year - a play right out of the 90's DRW playbook).

WTF fire Holland, best move on free agency day DRW will have made in 15 years.

Wings organization has just been going thru slow demise since Bowman/Yzerman and Nill jumped ship

Holland should have been put out to pasture years ago

The only thing that kept us a float so long was Zetterberg,lids and datsyuk. Kenneth has had no answer to the decline and departure of any of the big three.
