The reported terms of the contract are at one-year for $6.2 million dollars. This was the same amount he made last season in which he was named a finalist for the Norris Trophy recognizing the best defenseman in the league.
Initial early reports had Lidstrom coming back to the team so Monday’s announcement didn’t come as much of a surprise to the Red Wings organization and their fans.
Confirmation of Lidstrom’s return however is a relief to the organization and fans since the sudden retirement of Brian Rafalski.
