Attn: Douche - Wings extend Zetterberg contract

[PuckOff]

Zetterberg signs a 12 year contract. Avg salary is $6 Million/year. Nice cap hit for the Wings, but insane contract length.

[sickler]

He's 28 yrs old.

Even if he remains healthy, will be past his prime in a few years.

[AMBlai01]

There must be some out clauses in this thing after about 6 years. There is no way that anyone should be signed for that lengeth...just too many variables.

[PuckOff]

He certainly gave them the "home town discount" but 12 years is crazy. The NHL has to get rid of these long term contracts.

Jesus, way too long.

[Deuce]

Nicely done, Wings are a picture perfect franchise.

The Wings should have looked at the Islanders decision to give a long tern contract:

Nicely done, Wings are a picture perfect franchise.

They won't be looking so good when they are paying a beaten and battered 40 year old 6 million per season.
