He also was getting paid 3.5M last year. With the way the guy played in the playoffs, theres no way in hell the Wings couldn't give him a raise, regardless of where the original contract came from.

I'm thoroughly convinced that Kenny is the second coming of Jesus
Wasn't it that ridiculously big contract he gave unproven Pavel Datsyuk? Or the ridiculously big contract he gave injury prone Kronwall?

Actually no, I think it's the ridiculous over-payment on Lidstroms contract.
Very good signing by the Wings.

Good point. How about some kudos for Stuart. Frankly I wouldn't have considered him greedy for leaving. He's a 28 year old with a cup who's value would probably never be higher on the open market... but choosing to stay. That's a good move too.

Well I did not expect that, great news, specially since Stuart is still young
Now we have too much defense depth, but then again this is a great problem to have in a way.
