nothing, because it's a package deal, even with the cap going up, what team would have $12-15 million available for a combined 2 signings, thats what makes this situation different then others

although, Nashville, (if they ever figured out you need goals to win), could be a possible destination, 4 years $27 million each

Stl my friend.

Thank you .

This is exactly what Canucks have to be careful of. It is a package deal and Canucks can do really really good or sink their franchise. They need a hometown discount and use the extra money to bring in some support.

Anything south of 6 per is a discount

Possibly, but I was thinking (if its viable) more so a team that's struggling for goals & culture change, imagine the Preds with a power play of the Sedins & Weber?

What would you offer them on July 5th (or whatever the date is now)?

Yeah, this is not going to end well...

They don't need the money ,they do need a cup.

If it was one player it would be ok but you have 2 declining players . IMO you don't give declining players a raise. You cut back . It does not have to be a haircut ,but their is nothing wrong with 5 mil per year.


I agree let the Sedins retire a Canuck but keep the salary around 5 mil per,or do one year deals at a time.

Stick them on stl. On a line with Backes. And they finally have a legit 1st line

A good comparable is Alfredsson he is at 5.5 so seeing there are two they should be 5 - 5.3

Can't see the Sedins taking a put cut when they're 33, but I can't see them receiving a big raise either... 5yrs @ $6.5m for $32.5m.

If Gillis wants fewer years, it will be $7m per.

I think 5.5-5.75. Right now the twins are considerably better then Alfie

65.>6.1 yet no raise

Agreed on the package deal thing, but geez, even their declining numbers are still better then other players in league making more or similar, I can't see less then $6 mill each, Hamhuis makes $4.5 & the twins at $5 mill ea.? Despite the slight decline its low, as I mentioned earlier getting more support up front, (an injured Booth) another scoring winger would do wonders for the top 2 lines and may help their production. Of course the new defense shot blocking coach will have a lot to say about their production.

They'll either want short term, 2 years or so, or something that will take them into retirement. Im thinking 5 years too. Maybe 6.

... Alfy is 8 YEARS OLDER?!?!?!

Definitely not a comparable. That's almost like saying Brodeur and Lundqvist are comparable right now.

No chance H/D take a pay cut. Dream on.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

5.75/yr is too low to get it done, especially on a 3 year deal.

Maybe on a longer term -- but with the Luongo fiasco, I can imagine management wanting to stay away from deals that take players into their 40s...

6.5/yr on a 3 year deal. People can say what they want about the Sedins, but they're still All-Stars.

4 years, 30m would be appropriate. Most swedes want to go back to Sweden and raise their kids before they start middle school. Naslund was a mentor of the twins and he went back at 35.
