Jai604 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Why do you call for the mods when someone posts an article? get a life... Now for the article at hand, the writer is clearly an idiot. The contract would be a 35+ contract and they would not add "extra" years to it to reduce the salary cap because it would be stuck on the books after doan retires. The suggested 30 million over 4 years is bull, it has been reiterated by idiots across the land and has ultimately been refuted by doans agent multiple times.

oldnews Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Still obsessing in Boston over what the Canucks are doing? Shouldn't they be more concerned about replacing Thomas, Turco (and Rolston)? I heard Hasek and Theo Fleury are available... Ridiculous concept of what a Doan contract will look like. Perhaps if Philly or Minnesota were in the running... Anyway, meh, regurgitated rumours - pretty much old news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOnYmOuS Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think the idea is that if Doan really did want 30 million, the Canucks would have to do it over more than 4 years in order to lower the cap hit. Precisely because, as a 35+ year player, his cap hit would remain for the duration of the contract. Front loading it would mean he would get most of his money, and then decide if the last few years were worth playing. Thankfully the 30million, 4-year rumours are probably false.

Burnsey Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 12.2 mill for guys that combined could rack up 200PTS. Not bad at all. Better than this Crosby, Parise, Suter type of money which is what, 9mill at least for one player? Sedins are easily the best players for the best price in the league.

Dogbyte Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Lol "One player stuffed into to suits for 12.2 million" Have fun with Thomas's contract while he's not playing, fans of other teams (and ours) just can appreciate the Sedins, but I guess that's to be expected.

oldnews Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Unfortunately this Boston writer is on to something. Since we can't split our superstars apart, it's like they are only one reallly good player. Yeah but it lowers the cap hit from 7.5 to 5 mill per year.

oldnews Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Could they produce apart as well as together? I guess its a loaded question, we would have to know who their linemates would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
