Wings lose. Habs, Sabres and Bruins all win so all are now just 4 points behind the Wings. Panthers lose in regulation so the Wings still have a 10-pt playoff lead. Leafs lose 7-4 to Buffalo to wrap up a 0-4-1 homestand which included four 3-goal losses.

Twenty-Two

3 years? So He'll be 38 at the end of this deal. That part I don't like at all. He's having a good season so far and I guess that's what he's being rewarded for. But it isn't like he has lit the world on fire since he's been here. I don't love this deal and would not have done it for a little over half a season of good play.

Before this they had 3 defensemen under contract for next year (Mo., AlJo and ASP).  It was smart to extend Chiarot...

Well, hopefully his play doesn't fall off a cliff as he approaches 38 years old by the end of this deal. Otherwise, we'll be paying someone nearly $4 million to sit on the bench or play in Grand Rapids.

the years are long, but the number is good in an expanding cap for a guy like chiarot.

the wings - and the league - value physical defenseman more than the analytics crowd does.

chiarot on your third pair next year is not bad.  in 3 years i suspect he'll be in grand rapids a lot.  at least i hope so.

A good number of Dmen who learn to pace them selves play OK to their late 30s, and even if the third year is a bust, it will be less than 3% of the cap. In general I do worry about Yzerman not leaving himself enough room to make a big signing when a Hughes or McDavid hits the market, but not enough to worry about this deal.

He'll be the 3rd pair LHD with ASP next year. The stay-at-home defense-1st guy matched with the offense-only explosive RHD...

So...

We'll see how that works the next 3 seasons after this...

Chiarot has value for the Wings.

I think they appropriately extended him (term and AAV).

Just my 2 cents.

It isn't like Chiarot's game is predicated on his speed or something, I don't mind him on the third pairing (hopefully) late in his career.  The next free agent class isn't that impressive imo

we might actually achieve 84's dream of seeing william wallinder next season.

It is funny to see how much analytics people hate the contract

i remember analytics people going gaga for troy stecher.  then he got traded for a 7th rounder.
