Only Early Taks Regarding Zetteberg Contract (Kukla's Korner)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:41:58 GMT

from Ansar Kahn of Mlive, Don’t expect Henrik Zetterberg to sign a long-term extension on July 1 like San Jose’s Joe Thornton did last year. Zetterberg has one year remaining on a contract that averages $2.65 million a season, but Holland doesn’t anticipate a quick signing. He said he has had only preliminary talks with Zetterberg’s agent and that no figures have been exchanged...

Youth is served (The Peerless Prognosticator)

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Picking prospects is an uncertain endeavor. Today's 18-year old picked in the first round might be bagging groceries by the time he's 25. Conversely, that 210th pick might turn out to be a Henrik Zetterberg . Looking at the Caps, the group of under-25 prospects/players speaks well of Caps management at least putting the club in the position of being able to compete over the foreseeable...

He laughed. “They don’t,” he said. “They’ve just stumbled...

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:54:00 GMT

Could Mats Sundin be a Red Wing? That's the hot topic in NHL free-agent circles.

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star, Henrik Zetterberg’s days of anonymity are over. Well, folks in Detroit would tell you Zetterberg hasn’t been a secret to them for a long, long time.
