Edler, Mallet and a 4th for Mantha and Ferraro
pipedreams......

At the end of the day, this is a business. It's like anyone of us, if we want to keep our jobs, we have to be on top and keep to our potential. If the Sedins can't do that, they should be held accountable. IMHO, nobody should be an untouchable, except for our young, potential players that show promise and we want to keep. For example, Kassian, Tanev, Stanton, Lack and obviously all our blue chip prospects.
So do we start panicking and trade the Sedins immediately this offseason? Absolutely not, but if we start rolling into next season and Daniel is still looking like a 30-40 point player, then yes, we do start looking into trading them.
Gretzky was traded before. Anybody can be traded at any time. This isn't a father-son relationship here, everybody has to work to keep their jobs, especially if you make $7M per year. This might also be an opportunity for the Sedins to head over to a contending team and maybe win the cup, as I'm sure they wouldn't want to retire without a cup.
Remember how everyone was surprised when the Flyers traded Richards and Carter? Well, the same can happen here...
This guy nailed it.

Their contracts are going to hamper this team. Gillis should have gave them a 2 year extension only, at 5.5-6 million. Another bad contract signed by Gillis. I know the Sedins probably wanted the longer term/money, but common Mike, you can't tell they are on the downslope of their careers?

No he didn't those are good contracts. It's either that, or letting guys lIke bieksa walk free,
Not signing Jason Garrison
Can't argue the Hamhius signing.
Were not letting Edler walk after that season.
you guys don't make sense. Hindsight 20/20
-Burrows contract is terrible, he'll proably never score 20 goals again with the canucks. 2 year deal wouldve been appropriate. I love the guy and his heart/soul, but we all know the Sedins earned him that contract, and he wouldn't have scored all those goals if he wasn't playing with them.
-We all know Roberto's contract isn't ideal
-Hamhuis, Garrison, Edler,and Bieksa's contracts were alright at the time, but the no-movement clauses doesn't give the Canucks any chance to move on if need be, which they certainly could right now. The ball is in Edler's court where he wants to go if GMMG chooses to move him. At this point, who knows if GMMG asks Bieksa to be moved. He would bring us a decent return, great post-season addition for a playoff team.
-The Sedins, although great players, will never be the same again. The game is evolving and they simply don't have the footspeed. Mark my word, their contract extensions will hamper this team in the next few years. GMMG shouldve waited longer to re-sign them, to see how this year played out.
IMO, NTC or no-movement clauses should only be handed out to a handful of players on your team. The devleopemnt of prospects and other players brought in (Tanev, Stanton,) can make other players expandable in the future. Times like these the Canucks could move some guys that coud bring a decent return. My point is that GMMG could have made it much easier on himself for trading certain assets if he didnt attached such a long terms, high salaries, and no-movement clauses for players that are over the hill, and on the downslopes of their careers. Yes the Sedins, Burrows, Edler have had terrific years in the past. But the game is constantly changing, other teams are getting better. GMMG isn't exactly adapting to how the game is changing. Check out his latest TEAM1040 interview, he even hints at that! The Canucks are at a point now that they must look at all potential trade options if they still want to be relavent in this league. Gillis has tried to keep this core intact for too long. Change is needed, and a couple players will get traded that certain fans will probably get a little upset or emtional with. This is a business and when guys arent earning the money they are making, you have to explore all options.

The problem is that GMMG has handcuffed himself severly with terrible contracts that include no-movement clauses. He's reluctant to trade our youth, unless we get a young allstar coming our way (ROR, Evander). That likely won't be happening either, unless he can convince Alex Edler to waive his NTC and package him and with a young prospect to get a decent top-6.

Gillis may have made some questionable trades in the past, but there is no way he is foolish enough to make a deal for a 34 year old, injury prone player, who has a similar contract to Luongo. The Johan Franzen from a few years would've been a great fit for this team, as the Canucks have always lacked a gritty power forward with soft hands like Johan. Making this trade contradicts everything the managment and Torts have said recently about getting younger.
