canuckistani Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Getting into a bit of a hypothetical here, but please hear me out: Sedins are signed for another 2 years at 7 million per year cap hit. Now, say in 2 years, when the Sedins are going to be 37, they wan to sign a 2 year contract. Lets assume that their last season (i.e., 2017-18) gives something like 10-20 goals and 40-50 points in a full season for each twin. What would that be worth ? My shot in the dark would be, in the case of a 40-50 point season at age 37, a 2-year contract would yield 4.5 - 5 million/year range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I suspect this current contract is their final one in the NHL. But if it isn't, I expect they will show no signs of drop off and continue to be top 10 scorers until retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If they are still our first line when their current deals expire, then we've got bigger problems than worrying about what we should pay them. I hope they go the year to year route at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedlee Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Given their fitness levels and desire to compete, I could see the Sedin's signing one year deals after the current contract expires. They could play till their 40...at which time Bo, McCann and Jake will all be in their prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Best case scenario: They really want to bring a cup to Vancouver and sign each year for $1 million a year. Worst case: they head to Toronto :\ reality: Likely retire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you suspect them going home to Sweden I don't see them stopping hockey any time soon. Neither of them have had serious recurring injuries and they both have incredible fitness levels. No reason they can't play until late 30's - 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sedins may retire thinking well the organization wants to get younger, and we really don't want to be moved or signed in another market, so just retire as a Canuck. Or Which I could see knowing the Sedins, is take a pay cut which I know they wouldn't mind, help the team to spend more to get better players, maybe have one more shot at the cup. Also of course having a much less role 2nd line players, possibly 3rd line depending on who is still around, or new players that they were able to afford!

I could easily seem them doing something like this. One year deals at say ~$4m each. I would love nothing more than to watch them win a cup in say 4'ish years as complimentary ~2nd liners with guys like Bo leading the way/doing the heavy lifting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'd guess they'd do a 2- or 1-year deal. It really depends on how great they still are. If they don't regress, they'll sign for about the same -- roughly $7M. If they do regress a bit, I'd guess between 6 and 7 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I hope they take a hiatus in Sweden for a bit then come back for cheap to be second/third liners when our new core is established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If they still want to keep playing and are producing at a reasonable rate, I say 2 years at $6 million per. Having them form the second line with players like Horvat, McCann, Virtanen, Boeser, etc lead the charge offensively would be a dream. I'd love to see them win a Cup before they retire and to do that we need those young guys to develop into top players quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 They're not retiring in 2 years, that's almost a certainty, unless there's some sort of injury or injuries they will sign another contract. It all depends on where their game is. They will most likely go out East and sign for 2 years. Daniel said the travel is getting difficult now, so I think a Cup contending East Coast team makes sense. FLD Panthers will make perfect sense in 2 years. The kids will be fully developed and they'll be true contenders for the Cup. Sedins would be huge pieces that could put them over the top. Plus the weather and travel will suit them much better. So I say they'll sign 2 year deals with the Florida Panthers and win a Cup or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason they won't want to move is because of family reasons. Small children in school. I think they'll be gone unless this team turn into a Contender in 2 years which imo is highly unlikely.

If they wanted the cup, they would have won it in 2011 Sorry, that was uncalled for. I predict they will retire as Canucks. I know you have ideas of a long term rebuild for this club, but IMO we've already spent a few seasons doing that. We'll be a solid playoff team in 2-4 years. The Sedins will be here once we're ready.
