Sedin's: Henrik and Daniel have apparently set what it is going to cost the Canucks to keep them according to Swedish website expressen.ca. Apparently the twins are asking for 12-year $63 million contracts each. The demand was apparently quickly turned down by the Canucks.
Jmess: These contracts would break down to a $5 million cap hit each year over the contracts. To keep the Sedin's at a $10 million total cap hit is reasonable. I think it is the length of the contracts that are scaring the Canucks as the Sedin's aren't that young in their careers. I think we might actually see the Sedin's go to a team that is willing to give them long term security.
For Canucks fans sake, I hope that Gillis takes this for what it is, a bargain!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding the Sedin's at a $10 million cap hit that is a steal.
