Stuart re-signs with Wings
TSN in Canada is reporting the Wings and Brad Stuart have agreed on a four-year contract worth $15 million.
That averages to $3.75 million. He earned $3.5 million last season.
The feeling around the NHL was the Wings wanted to keep Stuart closer to the $3 million his defensive partner Niklas Kronwall is earning.
But, at the price Stuart signed for, I say it's a fair deal for both sides.
Stuart probably could have gotten a bit more on the open market.
But, he repeatedly said in the playoffs how much he enjoyed playing here.
This shouldn't impact the Wings' other free agent plans, much.
They're likely to take a run at Mats Sundin or Flint native Brian Rolston.
They also are seeking a third-string goalie and a replacement for Dallas Drake.
Maybe, Todd Bertuzzi?

CyberSurvey: Bringing back Bertuzzi
Please let's not entertain ideas of Bertuzzi. Regardless of what he may, or could, bring to Detroit, his attitude is extremely suspect. The guy never seems to be happy about the chances he's had, especially considering how he ruined the chances of others with his selfish and goonish play. I think he could do nothing to help the Wings and plenty to tarnish them. I didn't like him the last dozen games he played for us. You only noticed him because of his notariaty with the past litigation and the fact that he threw himself into people when it was convenient. Somehow the bright light of the Red Wings seemed dull when it shined on Bert.
