Red Wings make it official:
UPDATE: The #RedWings and C Frans Nielsen agree to terms on a 6 year deal. http://twitter.com/DetroitRedWings/status/748911325938671621/photo/1
Friedman: Nielsen AAV is $5.25M
LeBrun: Milan Lucic has signed with the Edmonton Oilers, source confirms
James Reimer has signed with #Panthers 5 years @ $3.4M

7 years, $5.5M per for Ladd with the Islanders.
Friedman: Hearing James Reimer is looking at a five-year deal somewhere in the Eastern Conference.
Russo: BLOG: #mnwild chatting with camps of David Backes, Eric Staal, among others http://strib.mn/29eoodI
McKenzie: PHI is front runner for Dale Weise. Could be a four-year deal.
McKenzie: Looks like David Backes going to market. STL took a run at re-signing him this morning. BOS significant interest in Backes.
David Perron has narrowed his choices to two teams. A return to STL is a possibility as Blues are believed to be one of the two teams.
Michael Russo furthers the report:
Obviously anything's subject to change, I suppose, but I'm being told Okposo to the #sabres is all but a lock

Somebody would have to do the work to prove it but multiple people on Twitter said his numbers improved when Frans Nielsen was his center.
Sounds like they dipped slightly:
Okposo had 1.74 5v5 points per 60 with Nielsen and 1.95 with Tavares.
Dreger tweet: Again strong likelihood Ladd goes to the Islanders. Okposo to the Sabres and Eriksson to the Canucks. Confirmation will come after paperwork
I think this is a deal Murray and Murray may have the parameters of in place but both agreed to wait and see what happens today.
Girgensons and a pick makes a lot of sense. Ennis, a prospect and a pick could make sense.
