Super_Canuck Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Let's be honest, the Sedins are getting older and aren't getting any better. While they'll still be very good players, they will no longer be amongst the elite players in the league. IMO, they have peaked. If we try to trade them as a package, we could get a TONNE back in return which would be like a quick re-build. So, would you trade the Sedins next year if it looked like the Canucks weren't an elite team anymore and also considering they would be pending UFA's? Or would you re-sign them to another extension and try to keep adding pieces to this current core and still try to win? I'm not against a re-buid at all. I don't think we are going to win with this current core. Especially considering salary cap implications nowadays, we need to get good young talent that is cheap financially. We cannot afford to keep signing old veteran players to big money contract, or else we will end up like Calgary. EDIT: This is not a Sedin bashing. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, both on and off the ice. I'm a big fan of theirs both as players and as human beings and think they've been a treat to watch the last couple of years and we have been lucky to have them on our team. No doubt they will go down as 2 of the best Canucks ever. What I'm talking about is business and the future of this team.

EagleShield Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Never going to happen. They'd go as a package, and few teams can afford one player of their quality. I think we'll give them 2 years beyond the end of their current deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I voted for both, trade them and get a great return, and then sign them back and keep them until they retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Canuck Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 All you people who are saying no are just in denial.

Otis Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 If the twins don't end their career's in Vancouver I would be very very upset. As long as they want to be here, they should be here IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sestito Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This is how all of you will react when the Sedins are here for too long and will have won 0 cups with them. Then you'll all be saying "omg, we should've traded them when they were worth something" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
