Wings Sign Tatar to a 3 Year Deal

Good. Dekeyser is the only RFA left correct? Leaving Alfie as the only, meaningful, UFA. Get those guys locked up and hope/pray for a healthy squad this season.

5.7M left for DeKeysrr and Alffy

[RedWings13]

That's actually not much at all. Thank god we wasted 2.5 of that.

[BranWingss]

Cleary on 2.5 is ****ing insane.

[GGGGG-Men]

So no chance they trade for a D unless they give up a big cap hit guy huh

[RedWings13]

or we don't sign Alfredsson. I mean, I'm against moving our youth anyway, but man we sure eliminated that option by signing Cleary. #harmlesssigning

"Tatar, 23, had been a restricted free agent, and there never was any doubt he’d be re-upped. It was just a matter of the details, which break down as $2.75 million per year." Tatar doesn't have a NTC though. You look at this and wonder how much the Wings will have to pay Nyquist next year.

"The only RFA left to be re-signed is defenseman Danny DeKeyser. That one could be trickier - DeKeyser’s camp knows how highly the Wings deem DeKeyser, and defensemen increasingly make premium dollars these days. At 24, DeKeyser doesn’t have a lot of games under his belt (76) but he may well consider that since he’s part of the top-four mix, he should get money similar to the $4.25 million Kyle Quincey will make annually after re-signing with Detroit on July 1." If Dekeyser gets that much, that only leaves the Wings with about 1 mil in cap space. Don't see how they will sign Alfie, or any other UFA for that matter.
