Apple Juice Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Money is good, term maybe a year or two too long but I suppose both sides were in agreement that they wanted to stay in Detroit for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 A little steep for Dekeyser, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I work with a wings fan. He's not too happy about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I find it funny that whenever there is a signing, Aaron Ward is the one who breaks it, it's as if he is assigned the Wings team. Poor guy's career is funneling down the toilet. As for the contract, it's probably the going price for a #3/#4 Dman. Moms and dads, get your sons to play defense, they are paid so much more and sought after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanB Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 2nd in TOI/GP, 26 years old - they had to pay this guy. A bit high, but they had little choice. He's the youngest top 4 D on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 In 3 years this will look like a bargain, Dekeyser is dynamic. I like the NMC is the first half, MNTC in the 2nd. Gives the Wings some flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 From not having seen him play often and with his offensive defensemen label this seems like a big overpayment to me. 23 points in 65 games in his rookie season 31 points in 80 games 20 points in 78 games He's also got 2 points in 17 playoff games.

PhillipBlunt Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Now Dekeyser can afford the best jockstrap money can buy so that whenever Detroit plays Edmonton, Danny's jewels will be safe from Lucic's errant stick work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't an offensive defenseman. There is potential for growth in the offense but he is primarily being paid for his ability to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term is fine as far as I'm concerned, and the AAV is something he'll grow into I think (or inflation will make it more reasonable, one of the two) even if it's a bit high now.

He faces the strongest quality of competition on the Wings blueline with the lowest offensive zone starts. Gets the most shorthanded minutes on their blueline and very little powerplay time. Nothing about that indicates 'offensive" defenseman - pretty clearly a top 4 shutdown defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
