If it’s divided evenly, that means $6.7 million a season, which jives with the reports that it’s between $6 and $7 million. Of course, it could be some kind of tiered thing rather than the same number for each year, so all we can say at the moment is that it’s $6.7 on average. - Matt [...] […] Update (4:45 PM): Christy has posted a reaction to the signing here and Dave has posted his here.  Here is IwoCPO’s again, in case you haven’t seen it. - Matt Update (4:10 PM): TSN reports the contract is for $46.9 million.

If Datsyuk tears it up in the postseason this will be seen as a great move. If he struggles there is sure to be lots of criticism directed at Red Wings general manager Ken Holland. As far as my opinion, I think it was a good signing. It’s actually at the high end of what I speculated when Christy asked me about this topic in her Behind the Blog series. But it isn’t completely out of line, especially given that it is a long-term contract. [...] […] Dave at Gorilla Crouch reflects on the signing as well: The price will be the big question mark.
