The good news is Detroit doesn't actually pay his salary but it counts against the CAP. This may strap Detroit in the Stamkos Sweepstakes, Toronto has the cash and the space.
If the only 60 goal scorer in the League at 26-years old ends up playing for Babcock in TO, Detroit fans will be furious.?I don?t take vacations. I don?t get sick. I don?t observe major holidays. I?m a jackhammer.?

Captain Zetterberg scored 13 goals and Datsyuk only 16 last season and played most of the minutes.
That's 6.1M + 7.5M = 13.6M in combined salary for one player on a serious decline and the other bolting for Russia while sticking the Wings with the tab.
I strongly suspect Holland not only wants but is desperately needing 60-goal scorer Stamkos, especially with a new building on the near horizon."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

Stamkos is the biggest star to hit UFA in years.
23, 51, 45, 60, 29, 25, 43, 36 = 312 goals , just turned 26-years old. Lost almost an entire year with a badly broken leg while back checking in support of his goalie, damn hero.
Bad luck struck again, missed 19 playoff games with a freak blood clott, doctors removed a rib that caused the odd occurance, back to 100%.
In his Young career, he's averaged 39 goals a season and he's about to hit his prime.
He will command 10M a season over 8 years , maximum new NHL contract.
Although a centerman, look for him on Captain Crosby's wing in the World Cup this fall.
Team Canada's Premiere, firstline, beyond lethal.

Detroit can't afford him thanks to genius Holland paying 7.5M in CAP space while Datsyuk plays in Russia.
If Tampa had him, we would of heard something, Yzerman offered 8.5M a season.
29 teams will ask, hope he ends up in Toronto, local Newmarket, Ontario kid anyway."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

Plus-Minus, essentially meaningless and on the way out in hockey.

Wings manage to trade Datsyuk's 7.5M CAP hit to Arizona along with the #16 pick?
Strange, must be taking a serious run at Stamkos, his stock rumor has risen to 12M a season according to a few NHL Clubs. Detroit has 19M in CAP space.
12M a season over 7 years. Ton of cash one player.Last edited by Prime2; June 24, 2016, 10:37 PM."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

I'd pay him 10 per but 12 is seriously pushing it. That's a lot of coin.F#*K OHIO!!!
