Whoa. This one came out of nowhere, as Holland’s moves typically do. Nick Lidstrom has extended for two more years.

Khan(!)

The Wings just announced they have signed defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom to a two-year extension that runs through 2009-10. Lidstrom was in the final year of his contract, earning $7.6 million.

“Nick has been the best defenseman in the world for several years”, Holland said in a statement. “He’s a great captain and role model who does everything right both on and off the ice. We’re proud to have him continue as a Red Wing for another two years.”

No indication as to whether the money is for more than the 7.6 he’s currently making…
