This is great news, especially after Rafalski decided to hang up the skates. Lids is easily one of the top 3 defensemen to ever play the game, maybe even THE greatest, because of his strong 2 way play and his amazing longevity. The most amazing thing about Lidstrom is the fact that at age 40, the guy is still the best defensemen in the entire world, proving it as a finalist and in my eyes, the favorite to win another Norris trophy for the leagues top defensemen.
Now I guessed that he would come back for a less amount, but that didn't happen and that shouldn't be too big of a deal because the cap is supposed to go up and with Raffy retiring, theres the extra money to pick up a defensemen or two. (cough....Wisniewski....cough)
