hockeyville88 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Iain MacIntyre @imacvansun: Sedins want to stay after contracts expire in 2014: "Absolutely. If it's up to us, we want to stay here." They deserve to retire as Canucks that's for sure. The Sedins have been relatively healthy their whole careers (knock on wood) and they are still producing quite well. At the same time, after 2014 it will be time to give others a chance to be the go-to offensive producers of the team. If they are still putting up 80+ points though, it'll be hard to ease anyone else into that role. A lot of it depends on their capabilities as they age and also how well they are able to perform in the playoffs, but it would be great to have them still being the leaders of the team. So the question is: how much, how long a contract, and in what role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not surprised. Maybe go with a 2 or 3 year deal at 3 or 4 million per, depending on where their games are at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 They'll be 34 in 2014, I still think that's a good enough age to contribute very well to this team, I say they get 5-6 million per for 2-3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlsson`s Flo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not surprised. Van city is their home and they love it just as much as we love them. I'm curious as to what kind of deal they'll end up getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Absolutely yes. Not at 6 million per, but I can see them being effective players into their late 30s... ...I'd do two or three years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 They'll continue to be impact players, and on top of that help teach our young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NP-4815162342 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Depends on how here doin then for how much we are paying but I'd say 3 years 5 or 6 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 They'll be point per game players till they retire. They are kind, generous, responsible, and respectful hockey players. They definitely deserve another contract @ 6.1m per year for however long, unless of course they decide to take another discount, which in all honesty I would not be surprised about. So lucky to have these two amazing people on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugemanskost Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 4 years each at $5M each. Numbers to the rafters together. Maybe another Olympic medal together. Back to Sweden together. Finish careers playing for MoDo together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 This will be one of the easiest contract negotiations ever. I would give them 5-6 Million for 2 or 3 years. Then re-evaluate after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009cupchamps Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 These guys can easily play until they are 38-39 years of age. They will still be elite players, sign them 3 years 5 per. That gives us 4 years to get Guance, Jansen, Schroeder, Kassian and any other young p,ayers time to develop. This is great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Good to hear. I'd say 2-4 years at $5-6M per year seems fine. I'd expect them to stay 1st liners for a while yet. Maybe if they stay 'til their late 30s or 40s, they'll be solid 2nd liners for some secondary scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucklehead53 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Depends where their games are at, but I'd say 5M a season. You don't see this kind of loyalty that often anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja321 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sign them for another 3 years, I'm sure they'll be still effective and they can mentor the younger guys taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 They'll do it, and they'll do it at a price that will give some breathing room salary-cap wise so the team can be successful. That's what their rationale was behind signing the previous deal at 6 million per. These guys are a class act and they'll show it again with the next contract they're going to sign with us.

disisdayear Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Daniel and Henrik, combined, should deliver 120 points per year from 2014-2015 onward for another three years. By current standards, that should be equivalent to one player (say Sidney Crosby) making $8.7 million per year (notwithstanding the old CBA rule stating that one player cannot represent more than 20% of max cap). So, I would say Daniel and Henrik would warrant a minimum $4.5mm to $5.0mm per year for three years -- front loaded so that they are paid at $7.0mm in year 1, $6.0mm in the second year and $2.0mm in the third year (or whatever ratio is allowed in the new CBA). Presuming they both produce at a 60 point per year from 2014 to 2018, I would say they will play mainly secondary roles, pinch hitting as go-to guys on occasion. That is my best guess.
