Red Wings Re-Sign Henrik Zetterberg to Four-Year Deal
DETROIT - General Manager Ken Holland today announced that the Detroit Red Wings have re-signed forward Henrik Zetterberg to a four-year contract.

Zetterberg returns for his fourth year in the NHL. Last season, Zetterberg led the Swedish Elite League in scoring, tallying 50 points in 50 games for Timra (19-31--50).

In 2003-04, he appeared in 61 games setting new career highs in assists (28) and plus/minus (+15). In 2002-03, Zetterberg was the runner-up for the NHL's Calder Trophy (Barret Jackman, St. Louis) as the league's best rookie when he scored 22 goals and 22 assists for 44 points.

he just dropped the average age of the wings from 38 to 34, j/k, good signing for the wings to get one of their young guns, they failed to get datsyuk, then again we all know that pavel isnt worth the money he was asking for so i dont know if the term fail is fair in this case. oh well, good signing none the less for the wings

You knew this was going to happen once Datsyuk signed in Russia...

Under the current circumstances involving Pavel Datsyuk, I think they're getting him for somewhat of a bargain. But really though, it all depends on how many years are in his contract. My guess is that it's only a 1-year deal, which in other words, the Redwings are screwed...

EDIT: It appears that the Wings have most likely locked him up in a multi-year deal. Good signing by Detroit if this is the case. Unfortunately, though, they won't have Datsyuk all year long. Talk about a screw up on the part of Wings management.

The Wings are screwed if its a one year deal. Does Datsyuk signing in russia mean there is no way a team in the NHL can sign him?

Yes. There is a "no out clause" in his contract.

Datsyuk is a talented player, Detroit would be lucky to have him. He should have taked the 5 mil. Oh well, at least we got Zetterberg
