Too long IMO. They have him and Zetterberg on extremely long term deals. It migth comme back to bite them.

Not a great deal to be honest. For that length, at his age, I thought for sure it would be 3.2-3.5 a year.

Not horrible, not fantastic though.

I have. He's gonna be good, but replacing Lidstrom is a tall order.

Then you know why I said he is Lidstrom's potential replacement. As you have already seen, Ericsson has the tools...and he's one big kid.

Smile Yeah, he's a big dude. Replacing Lidstrom is never going to happen. Getting a guy that's 2/3rds as good is their best bet. Whether this kid is the guy still is a long, long way off from being a reality.

Anybody stepping into Lidstrom's skates is a HUGE challenge...but watch this kid Ericsson. He has it all. And he has Nick to teach him all the tricks in the next few years.

cool)

We'll be talking about this one...
