How about Abols as future fourth liner. Good showing last year at camp , we could not sign him but this year we draft him.

If Hansen does well with the twins I'd keep him there and put Eriksson with Horvat and Baertschi, except on the PP. Gives the team more balance IMO.

I just hate seeing all the truly proven offensive guys on one line, we've seen that movie for a decade now.

If Hansne plays with twins, I would rather see JV-Bo-Loui and then Baer-Sutter-X

Yup that works too, Sutter needs a bit of a playmaking winger to create offence for him because he's an offensive deadzone.

How many years left on the Sedins contract? Hard to believe they're going to be what 35 this year? They will both have good seasons though if healthy

Their contract ends after the '17-'18 season. Two more years for those who struggle with math.

Not bad at all. They will be productive both years, Vancouver will have lots of options with which route to go with them you have to figure. Think they would want to sign elsewhere to chase a cup?

Im sure sedins will have their regular good year.
What Im more concerned with with is if they redirect them to attacking across the line straight center as opposed to their usual and extremely predictable down the wing then full stop just past the line AV routine, which is an offensive disaster. Take that out and theyll have a great year offensively.

Isn't Jagr 44? I know they are getting on in age but they could still be effective.

Two and they'll be 36 this year not 35. Getting up there in age for sure. But still productive.

Depends if they want to continue to play or not. The longer they stay in Canada, as their kids get older, the less likely the kids will want to return to Sweden.

Yeah that's true too, can't see them retiring after this contract tho.. wonder if they would sign a 1 year deal with a cup contender at a decent cap hit or what?

I disagree, sorry, I'm a bit older than you and I can't do the things I used to do when I was younger. Yes they're highly trained pro athletes but you're starting to see Hank's body breakdown in the past couple of years…it happens to all of us.

They might as well retire then if they're going to be looking for 7 million dollar contracts as ufas.

I'm hoping it's something like a 2 year 7 million contract. Nothing more than that. If they still want to play after that take it year by year like Jagr has.
