vancanfan Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Since its the dog days of summer and hockey news is hard to come by, I hought I would post this, Boston Globe hockey writer Kevin Dupont sharing his views on recent Canucks news. http://bostonglobe.com/sports/2012/08/04/sunhoc/rNnYsEacctQHjeUQz5JFLJ/story.html Not yet a Doan deal Coyotes star Shane Doan remains an unrestricted free agent, with the Canucks last week the latest to try to woo the 35-year-old right winger to their camp. They’ve also put out feelers to aging pivot Jason Arnott, who worked for $2.875 million last season in St. Louis. Doan is believed to be looking for upward of $30 million over four years, too high for most clubs, especially the Canucks with their “Sedin’’ ceiling of $6.1 million. That’s a little deceiving, because Henrik and Daniel Sedin play as one, so it’s really one player stuffed in two suits for $12.2 million. Look for someone to fork over the $30 million to Doan, but with the payout spread over six seasons (example: $8 million, $8m, $7m, $3m, $2m, $2m). In that kind of model, he would pocket $26 million over four years (right in line with Sedin average dough), and then decide if he wants to work the last two years for a total of $4 million — less than 14 percent of the deal’s total worth.

Smashian Kassian Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Lol "One player stuffed into to suits for 12.2 million" Have fun with Thomas's contract while he's not playing, fans of other teams (and ours) just can appreciate the Sedins, but I guess that's to be expected.

hudson bay rules Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Why do you call for the mods when someone posts an article? get a life... Now for the article at hand, the writer is clearly an idiot. The contract would be a 35+ contract and they would not add "extra" years to it to reduce the salary cap because it would be stuck on the books after doan retires. The suggested 30 million over 4 years is bull, it has been reiterated by idiots across the land and has ultimately been refuted by doans agent multiple times.

CanucksFanMike Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I dont think the Canucks will be offering Doan more than $30 mil.... i think we should give him a 4 year $24 M deal and put the ball in his court (he either takes less to come to VAN or more somewhere else) We shouldn't overpay for Doan. I know he is a great power forward who could help us win now, but we have Kassian coming, Higgins fits well on the 2nd line (or the AMEX line if you prefer), and Raymond has a tinyer than tinyest tiny chance of having a bounce back year. As for Arnott, I think he is a great fit at a cheap price and we should go out and get him signed for a year.... 1 yr, $2 M at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOnYmOuS Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Clearly his info is off, adding bogus years to Doans salary would be dumb, his salary would still count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Boston Globe didn't offer much up either. It is what it is: Turning nothing into something in order to fill blank space. Wooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haikara Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 cool, last season, the sedins combined for 44 goals, 148 points (8 less games) the bruin's top two players combined for 51 goals, 131 points. i guess seguin and bergeron are 1 player in 2 suits as well...
