Guest Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 As much as we would all love them too, I think they'd need to sign year-by-year extensions after their current contracts, be 3rd liners with PP time, and take no more than $2m each per year to allow us to have a top six that can take the scoring slack. Will they extend their time with us to age 38, 39, 40? With kids to raise and millions of $ in the bank? I'm not sure but if Linden can sell them on the vision, and we've made progress by that time, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliesStache14 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If they stay here then no they will be well into retirement before this team is a legit cup contender again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolozsy2 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Honestly, if we're nowhere near being serious contenders in the next couple years or so, I wouldn't mind trading the Sedins on a seriously stacked team so they can lift the Stanley Cup before they retire. My guess is that seriously stacked teams would most likely not have the cap space to be able to trade for them. The Canucks would have to take a hefty load of garbage salaries in return for them. Very difficult to move them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The Sedins will not win a cup in Vancouver, they will leave and finish things off with MODO before Vancouver is in a position to win a Stanley Cup. The only chance they have(In my Opinion) is to stay around for another 5-6 years as bottom 6 forwards, which won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONCHE Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 My first gut instinct sadly was "No" If they were to win in Van it would have to be a ways down the road as supporting cast not as our primary offensive weapons. I don't mean that as a slag against the twins (as they have proved this year that they can still fill that role quite effectively), but we have nowehere near the necessary supporting cast to seriously compete against this league's elite teams. Baring a crazy "catching fire" run I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dura_mater Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Desperation Mode Gillis managed to screw this up. We could have had multiple rings as well if he would have managed to admit he messed up a couple of times along the way. Cocaine, it's a hell of a drug.

MJDDawg Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Unfortunately not with the Canucks. Their one shot was 2011. I'd love to see them win one though, and I hope that once they become UFA's, they do what Alfredsson did and go to a contender for a season to try to get one.

Standing_Tall#37 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 No. They are not the type of players who will do ANYthing to win. Even in the Boston Series, we had the lowest amount of goals for in a 7-game scf series since 1942. If it wasnt for Lou we would have been swept.

D-Money Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 After I saw the Mcmillan penalty in game 6, I said to myself, "Come on hockey gods, show us some justice"... Really? Because after I saw how Weber was too weak to just stick-check little Johnny Hockey on the 3rd goal, I said to myself, ">%&@ this $%)#". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Only if JB trades them now for some serious young talent to fast-track a re-build and then re-signs them when their contracts expire for one last run at the cup. By then, the team may be closer to being a contender.If they stay here as our first line, while JB pieces together youth from limited draft opportunities and other teams' reserve lists, not a chance.

canuktravella Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 unless mccann is kesler, shinkaruk is mogilny, virtanen is perry and we draft some stud dmen the likely hood that we win cup in next threee yrs is doubtful but if we trade sedins to isles maybe they get a cup as secondary players behind strome and tavares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven pounds soft Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I believe they will win a cup. I just have a feeling. Benning is fast tracking the re-tool and seeing what works. The Sedins at very least will get a few more shots at it , which excites me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
