The biggest priority for Gillis this off-season has been coming to terms with Daniel and Henrik Sedin on a new contract and depending on which news source you trust, he may or may not have been successful at that.
So do they stay or go? And please give a reason for your vote.
Too much cap hit with the terms the sisters have requested! Next summer cap will shrink! We'll see more teams of 15 players like Calgary at the end of this season!
Daniel and Henrik Sedin have agreed to five-year contract extensions with the Vancouver Canucks less than an hour before the start of free agency.
The Canucks gave the identical twins matching $30.5 million deals, keeping them with the team that drafted them second and third overall in 1999.
“We said from Day One we always wanted to stay and that was our main option, but the longer it took we considered all the possible options,” said Henrik, who shared a phone with Daniel during a conference call from their native Sweden. “Vancouver was always No. 1. It came down to the last day but it happened and we’re extremely happy.”
Must your flames bias get in the way every time it comes to the north west division.?
Yes their not that good as we know the league is full of point per game players.!!
For that kind of money they could have got Hossa and Gaborick, I'm not sure if this is my Flames bias or not but I'd take them over the Sedins any day. Plus there's a long history to Hossa, Gaborick and Demitra playing togeather which could revitalize Demitra.
