Good for him
The Wings do have two players, right now, who make more than 6 million/year. Lidstrom and Hossa both get 7.45. Datsyuk is at 6.7 - his contract is for 7 years. Actually, Zetterberg get 7 - 7.5 over the first 10 years; then drops to 3.35 in year 11 and 1 million in the last year.

A few of the Wings have structured their contracts so that the team can sign players like Hossa. And Zetterberg could have gotten 8 million easily, if he had become a free agent. The players like it in Detroit - especially the Swedes!! They are treated well here.
