Red Wings Re-Sign Darren Helm For Two Years

The Red Wings learned in the 2008 playoffs what a gem they had in Darren Helm, as he used his speed and energy to pivot a viable fourth line.
Helm's relentlessness has made him a vital role player, and he was rewarded Wednesday with a two-year contract worth $1.825 million. It'll be spread out as $825,000 this season and $1 million in 2011-12, with a salary cap hit of $912,500.
