First Edler, now Ekman-Larsson. All of the guys on my wishlist for the Wings are re-upping. Curses.
Oh well, I’ll say the same thing for this contract that I did for Yandle when he resigned last year. There’s little chance he’ll be in Pheonix in six years. Either the team, or he, will have been moved.

How the hell does a team with no ownership and abysmal attendance afford this contract? All the other owners must be livid every time they look at the other lineup they are financing.

Great contract for both sides. He’ll earn a Norris sometime during that contract.

Because the CBA requires EVERY team to spend to the minimum threshold!
