Hey, if you like paying $14M for 2 50 point players then maybe they aren't overpaid to you, but hey, I suppose you love this team playing in the gutter right? Enjoy more years like last year because we had to keep your Sedin sisters.

The article is not incorrect. The Sedins do have two of the worst contracts amongst Canadian teams. Further to that, the Sedins have two of the worst contracts in the league. By years 3 and 4 these will be franchise anchoring contracts (if they aren't so already). I only take solace in the rumours that if they don't rebound this year they're likely to retire.
I'm not one for excuses but Torts was a cancer for this team overall, putting the twins in shitty situations, at least willie knows to just basically put them where they excel - in scoring situations....and not blocking plus penalty kills.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Re: Canucks News and Notes
You'll see. But hey, I'm convinced the Sedins could turn into 30 point players and literally take a steamy dump on the ice and people in Vancouver would still fawn over them. I, on the other hand, prefer to see a winning team. Which is why I'm not holding my breath until they're out of Vancouver.

Re: Canucks News and Notes
I"m not running behind anyone. All I'm saying is that the Sedins contracts are amongst the worst in the league, and definitely amongst the worst amongst Canadian teams. You people can live in denial all you want. These guys are 50 point players now, and while you can sit there and hope for a "bounce back" season, it isn't going to happen. Any expectation should be tempered. For these guys, a bounce back season sees them at around 60 points. Expecting them to be PPG players again just isn't realistic, yet that's what we're paying for.Blob Mckenzie wrote:lmao @ pauser.

So when they come back with a 60+ point season (which I don't doubt they will), you going to come back and eat some crow? Or move the goal posts again? They were near PPG players after the lockout. I know that past history does not guarantee future success.You people can live in denial all you want.

However, last season was an aberration due to a combination of injuries and horrible coaching decisions. Are they going to be 100+ point players again? Probably not. But going back to the style of play that suits them as opposed to what Torts had the twins doing will certainly help. Having a regular line mate will also help.
Re: Canucks News and Notes
So, in your not-too-humble opinion, what contracts are as bad, or worse than the Twins? I'd like to see who you are comparing them too.The_Pauser wrote:I"m not running behind anyone.

Re: Canucks News and Notes
No, the truth be told you don't like winning. You see, in the 13 seasons the Sedins have been with the Canucks, they have made the playoffs 10 times and won seven division titles as well as 2 President's trophies which is the best era at any time in the Canucks history. The three seasons they didn't make the playoffs was due to several injuries to key players down the stretch which included the Sedins themselves going through a spate of injuries. In a hard cap league, if your key players get hurt, you lose and that's a fact. Remember this?The_Pauser wrote:You'll see.

Think the injuries they suffered last season might have something to do with their lack of production when prior to they were at or near the top as point producing pairs?
Your equating getting rid of the Sedins as becoming a winner is pathetic logic at best when stats show the Canucks have won more often with healthy Sedins in the line up. Which shows you're competing with paper tiger and tuna melt as the worst poster here on CC.

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Bullshit. The Sedins took less money back in 2008 when the salary cap was less than it is now. Gillis and even more so, Aquillini approved the current contracts with the cap being higher, which is an honourable thing to do. Do you thing any free agents or current veterans on the team would come here and stay here if ownership and management attempted to screw the long serving and loyal Sedins now? Players agents of current Canucks players would be doing the Overhardt thing and screaming at Benning to trade their clients now. Others would refuse trades to Vancouver. You haven't a fucking clue, have you?The_Pauser wrote:I"m not running behind anyone.
