Thats what i thought,so if the Sedins are willing to go year to year thennnnnn.....whats the problem????Hockey Widow wrote: It wasn't that long ago Hank said they wanted to go year to year and now they are talking about one last contract. I' d be happy with a two year deal at this point and for the big cap hit. Let's face it,if we really are at a half closed window then better to be on a short deal with these two.

5 points combined for the Sedinery twins tonight.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
7 points in 2 games between them. That's pretty damned good.
Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
Two washed up, aging, gutless, second line forward AT BEST performances by the soft Swedish sisters. Gawd I can't wait until these two are no longer on the team!
Seriously though, I know it is very early on in this season, but so far the Sedins look faster, more aggressive and a hell of a lot more assertive than in 2012 and 2013. I found Hank's comment about the twins having several conversations with AV about their defensive and PK roles on the team to be interesting. He also said they want to be complete players.
Seeing how the Sedins look early on should help minimize any concerns about signing these guys to another contract. Two-three years would be my preference at this point, and 7ish million each would probably be fair for both sides.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

year 1 - 9 mil
year 2 - 6.5 mil
year 3 - 5 mil
year 4 - 4.5 mil
AAV 6.25 million, I'd do it in a heartbeat, especilly since I wouldn't be paying out my own money!

Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
success in the NHL's watered down 82 game regular season has never been the Sedin's problem,it's when the real season begins and their style of play becomes ineffective that their shortcomings (or the leagues change in officiating which takes place every April,pick one)become evident. If regular season stuff is what a longterm contract should be based on then sign 'em up for another 5
Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
Well, since the regular season is what gets teams into the playoffs, not to mention it's the time of year owners make the bulk of their revenue, then yeah I'd say signing players who are effective in the regular season is a priority.dangler wrote:If regular season stuff is what a longterm contract should be based on then sign 'em up for another 5

Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
Playoff stats:
Dank: 96 games played, 67 points
Hank: 99 games played, 74 points.
Not total playoff duds I'd say but not ppg players so ya get rid of them.

Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
Or maybe they could get a supporting cast here that actually scores. There is a stat that reflects the twins are top 20 in ppg over the last 5 - 6 playoff seasons but for some that will never be good enough. Then again who am I to say a person shouldn't ..... you know ....actually read and perhaps interpret some cold hard stats.dangler wrote:success in the NHL's watered down 82 game regular season has never been the Sedin's problem,it's when the real season begins and their style of play becomes ineffective that their shortcomings (or the leagues change in officiating which takes place every April,pick one)become evident.

Since 09 they are top 20 in the game and a way higher ppg. The stats picked up over their first 30 + games were weak as they were the support group back then. A link would be awesome.

I just went to NHL.COM and I wasn't complaining. But let me do the math and edit this in a sec
Edit
Since 2006-2007 season
Dank: games played 65, points 54, ppg 0.83
Hank: games played 68, points 58, pp 0.85
No matter how you do the math they are very reliable point scorers in the playoffs. It is a myth, an urban myth, that they cannot produce in the playoffs. Our problem has always been lack of secondary support.

I agree with this 100% the twins are not the problem in the playoffs.
Lets look at how that playoff warrior Toews done over his ilustrious playoff carreer?
75 games played, 64 points scored, I think that works out to around .853 points per game.
Yes he's won a Con Smythe and a couple of cups but last I looked hockey is a team game.
Without the injuries we had in 2011 I think we take the cup in 4 or 5 games.
Re: Re-sign the Sedins thread
And now they look good on the penalty kill as well, most star players get some pk time and with their superior puck possession play, it really helps kill the penalty time!
So with Torts utilizing this skill set and with them on the PK the Sedin's stock should go up even more so.
