I like it!

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I like it, Pretty fair offer for Zadina.

Now i will be happier once we hear about the Bertuzzi and Larkin extensions.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

$1.8M per? I dunno about this one. If he ain't scoring (which he doesn't) he doesn't do much else...

Bertuzzi will not get extended.

 

[ThankGord]

good deal

 

[norrisnick]

Absolutely nothing to complain about with this one. If he magically starts scoring could end up a steal. If not... doesn't hurt the overall number very much at all.

 

[Run the Jewels]

It's alright. Don't love it. don't hate it. Please don't let it include a no trade clause.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Could be an absolute steal if this new staff/system can un-lock him.

Zero Risk... High Reward

Especially since Blash is gone

Bertuzzi will not get extended.

Kakko got 2 x $2,100,000 and Zadina has 3 more points in fewer games then him. So it's a fair offer.

And maybe Yzerman doesn't extend Bertuzzi. Even though he said that extending both Bertuzzi and Larkin were his main priorities.

He is not eligible for a NTC.

 

[Henkka]

That's cheap.

Evolving-hockey estimated 3-year 2.003M for him.

Even 2-year deal was more, 1.889M.

 

[RRhoads]

About expected, but I expected 1 or 2 year deal for 100k less, to be honest.

 

[Henkka]

That's a good caphit to be sent to Oilers for Puljujärvi....

We'll get a better player and Holland will get caphit help.

Both will get change of scenery -effect.

 

[Ulysses31]

rooting for zadina to succeed but he hasnt show much, was expecting 1x1.

Maybe sy and zadina feel on 3yr deal it gives zadina some slack and will take off some of the pressure / stress and hopefully allow him to find his game

Why does he need to be "un-locked"? We gave him this contract for what he could be not what he is. If he looks like he did last year he probably won't finish it with us. This is his absolute make it or break it season and will tell his career trajectory going forward. I'm not expecting much.

Because Blashill basically destroyed his confidence.

 

[PelagicJoe]

Can I link this thread into the "Yzerman's mistakes so far" one?

Breakdown

 

[golffuul]

Solid deal. Great term for the money. Hopefully he can finally find his footing and have a good season.

 

[Ezekial]

3 years surprised me quite a bit from both sides perspectives.

[izlez]

Zadina just needs some confidenceᵀᴹ

 

[Czechboy]

He's been disapointing so far but I think he can make up some ground here... I hope he stays in Detroit but I'm all for the JP swap suggested above. JP is 24 and has 98 points in his career. I think Zadina can catch that in 2 years... Mind you, I'm liking the Czech colony in Detroit!

You really believe that bs? Why didn't he destroy Raymond and Seiders confidence?

Because not everyone is the same?
