hammertime Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Here it is straight from Hank n Dank! They will finish their contracts in Vancouver and they will either re sign here or retire. I think after next season we will be requiring their roster spots for..... Virtanen, 2017 1st, Dahlen, Gaudette, and the "Foundational" Sutter and Loui will take over the mentorship role. They have no desire to play for another team they will be "forever Canucks". True "Class" until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'd love for the Canucks to develop a badass 4th line that can be a defensive force. Then deploy the twins at third line minutes to mess with line matching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 So can we now finally stop the "Canucks need a #properrebuild but refuse(d) to do it" canard? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Greatest Canucks of all time. 1A and 1B. I hope they stick around a couple more years at a low cap hit. There's nobody in the league I'd rather have mentoring our rookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 They'll retire Canucks, as they should. This won't put an end to the speculation next year or the proposals going forward but I sure am goddamn happy to hear this. It'd feel wrong to see them in another NHL jersey that didn't have an all-star label attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I am ok with this. Next contract $4 million each 1 year. Then $3.5 million then $3 million Then off in to the sunset. We need them both at or over 1000 points and 1000 games. They're heart and soul canucks and it's hard finding guys this classy that have only played for 1 team and as such they deserve the ability to sign here and retire here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have no issue with the twins coming back on a 2 year contract, as long as it's cheap and they're ok with 3rd line mins. I believe they know what needs to be done to continue to play in the league and will train appropriately. I expect a bounce back year next season and 15-20 goals for daniel and 10-15 for Hank......45-55 points each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, but this is the most interesting part to me: Henrik: "We know that management needs to see a place for us in the rebuild. It’s not always in their interest to have guys like us around." To me thats a statement of not wanting to be around for a couple years of tanking to end their careers, and they shouldn't have to endure that. They're going to play their best no matter what. But what I would like to see is a willingness (by the coach mainly but them too) to play apart. Thats the only way I see them playing here on an extension past next year.

darkpoet Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hank thinks they can still be 65 point players? Riddle me how? 2 of his last 3 years he been at 50-55 pts. Probably stay at 45 pts this year and is a -28 Daniel's been better with 60 pts last year but only managed 47 in 2014. And he barely got to 40 pts this year with a -18 There have been flashes (and oddly, many of them have been pretty recent) of their previous Sedinery.... but I'll say this: There is a big difference between believing you can still be a 65 pint player at nearly 40 years of age, and actually doing it. If they are hell-bent on helping this team for any length of time going forward then they need to work on their skating. They got away with it years back but now it's seriously hindering them. Go hire Kathy MacIIwain (Bo's power skating coach) and work with her all summer and add another gear to your legs. That might do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is as easy as me putting a Tweet out there that says: Henrik: "Not 100% sure what the future holds. I'll have to discuss with my family if an extension to my contract is in the cards for us" DONE. Henrik is now uncertain whether or not he wants to continue playing after this contract is over.

When we signed LE I think we all thought it would be great, especially given the fact they had just scored goals together at the World Cup, so who saw it coming.

Baer, Horvat, Boeser Dahlen, Draft, Goldobin Sedin, Sedin, Granlund Gaunce, Sutter, Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This needs to be filed under the same category as, "We will NOT be asking players with NTC/NMC to waive!" which also came straight from a primary source - JB himself. I hold the twins in very high regard for what they've done for this province/franchise - but we all know pro-hockey is a 'fluid' entity. Things can and do change. Just because the twins feel this way, at this point in time, doesn't mean it's set in stone. Next season at the TDL, if JB approaches them with a favorable opportunity, things can change fast.
