RIP Henrik Lundqvist

[GypsieDeathBringer]

No, he didn't die, but he was a part of the longest free agency negotiations this league has ever seen.  And now it is all over.

1 full month it took to get him signed and he fared much better than anyone could have guessed in getting a 5 year deal worth 5.2m annually.

What a shrewd businessman.

Well the good news for Detroit is they have enough cap space that they can buyout Lundqvist and take the whole cap hit this year.
