GrogZilla Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 First off, anyone suggesting trade them doesn't know what they're talking about. It's basically impossible to trade them & would likely be a disaster if attempted. They can veto any trade attempt & retire back to Sweden the following season. Second, you need to look at what the twins have actually said about their next contract. 1) They want to win a Cup in Vancouver 2) They want to finish their careers in Sweden. 3) They want to retire from the NHL as Canucks. 4) They expect to take a pay cut. 5) They think a series of 1 year deals would be best. So I'm expecting them to sign 1 year deals in the 5 to 5.5 mill range. These guys aren't chasing the big money, they want to win & they want security. By signing 1 year deals with NTC's at below market value, they basically control their own fate. They have no worries about ever becoming a drag on the payroll. They have no worries about their ever being an attempt to trade them. They can take it year by year & decide every summer if they wish to continue. AKA: the Selanne model.

Plum Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I guess Lidstrom was washed up when he was 33 and was winning the Norris. I didn't know all players become washed up when they hit 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Green Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 4 years; $8.5 $6.5 $5.5 $4.5 = $25 mill or $6.25 cap hit! It leaves them the option to "retire" to Sweden after year 3 really. Signed before age 35; no penalty... Does that work, what is the max variation in contract value per year in new CBA??? If not play around with signing bonuses and adjust the average values...

c00kies Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I hope they stay, because the alternative is likely they're headed to TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Same contract as they have now. These guys have never had any type of career injuries besides a concussion. I truly believe they will play till 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Matching 12 yr/ 64 mill contracts. What could go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kooner91 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I still believe they do a 3 year, 18mil deal. Then if they don't go to Sweden after that, a series of 1 year deals till they end off their career at around 4-5.5mil/year (depending on their production at that time).

Drouin Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I guarantee they take a discount so we can use the cap to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Then you will be thoroughly disappointed, amico. The Sedins want as much money as they can get before they retire and they aren't going to take discounts. I know them well. The Sedins will get 7 mil per each on 2 year contacts with a team like Detroit or Pittsburgh. Can't see the Sedins here in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 About 4 mill x4~5 yrs. Then have the Aquilini's yacht dump some gold bars at some remote Swedish port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hopefully they take a paycut even though there better than a lot of other players and make less. Hoping for $6M each for first few years then, $4.5, $4.. etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Specter Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Nice try. Gillis said he wants the Sedins in Vancouver long term and Henrik and Daniel also want to stay in Vancouver. So since they took discounts in 2009 when they were in their prime, what makes you think they won't now that they're 5 years older? The Sedins want to win here and with the cap rumoured to be going up after next season I'm sure they'll take discounts that would help Gillis sign a big name FA or two that would help us win the Cup.

spook007 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 This team isn't winning a cup in the Sedin's lifetime. They will sign with another team like Alfie. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Anyone saying south of 6 is crazy. Perry and Getzlaf both recently signed long contacts for over 8. Even at a discount that puts the Sedins around the 7 million mark on a shorter deal. I am expecting 3 or 4 years at around 7.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
