Win win for everyone. He gets his money. Red Wings get to look like a classy organization (they are), don?t suffer a cap hit, and they get reimbursed by insurance.

Because I enjoyed watching him and 37 or not the Wings are better with him. Plus, you want to see players go out on their own terms not forced because of an injury. Still a top notch player.

Given how early in his career Zetterberg started having back issues, its almost a miracle he made it this far. Let alone the level that he continued playing at.
