A source told Booth Newspapers on Monday that Lidstrom has decided to return for another season. The club is expected to finalize a one-year contract extension this week with the six-time Norris Trophy winner as the league’s top defenseman.
In Lidstrom, the Red Wings see the return of their leader and one of the defenseman in the League, still at the ripe old age of 40. While the details of the contract are still very much a guessing game, the cap hit for Lids will most likely be a uniquely high one for a player of his age, even after the hometown discount -- but Nick is a uniquely talented player, with whom the Red Wings are perennial Cup-contenders.
The deal has been officially signed for $6.2m for the 2010/2011 season.
hurray!!!!!!
