[Signing] Hansen signs 3-year deal


Recommended Posts

Hansen is a great forechecker, pker, and defensive player who never takes a shift off. He's a 25 - 30 point player now, and I could see him getting 30 - 40 in the future if he continues to improve. It's a good deal now and if next year the cap goes up, or Hansen continues to improve, it's a great deal. Hansen is still 25, he's young and can still improve his skills.

EDIT: 1.35mil caphit? that's an awesome deal as opposed to just a good one. Still don't think 1.65 would be an overpayment for him, but it's a moot point now.

Botch on the salary/cap hit:

Sounds good.

I'm seeing a few more tweets saying it's the $5 million/3 years ($1.67 million cap hit). Personally, I'd still consider that "taking less" and pretty good value (although it's in the high end of my predicted range of $1.5-1.75 million so I suppose it's not great value). Still, count me as one of those "fans" who "are going to like it" ;).

With Raymond on LTIR, the Canucks have $5,160,001 in cap space to fill 2 forward spots. They're in great shape to make a splash for a top-6 forward if one comes along.
