Detroit Red Wings agree to terms with Frans Nielsen on a 6 year/ $5.25M AAV contract. #DRW

So basically a swap for Nielsen/Ladd

not good for his style of play. I could see him slowing down drastically.

He'll be 35 when it's done, though. You are spot-on about his style of play. He's in his prime and that will close sooner than others. He might as well cash-in now.

I think it's a pretty decent deal; at least for the first 3 or 4 years.

Isles offered more term and more money and Nielsen turned them down for less in Detroit

seems about right. looks like most Forwards are going for around $100k per point. Neilson = 52 pts last year.

no cap room to do anything else. they need to trade a big contract if they are to bring in "fresh" blood.

I don't care about the dollars, getting hom to sign without huge term is a win.

So they traded Hall and essentially got Lucic and Larsson.

Honestly, this makes them a significantly better hockey team.
