Markus Naslund has decided to return to Vancouver, according to his agent Mike Gillis.
Both the Vancouver Province and radio station CKNW say Naslund has agreed to a three year deal worth $18-million.
Naslund reportedly turned down two other similar offers from "high revenue" teams because he felt the Canucks' offer was more competitive.
"We evaluated every element to this and in the end it all pointed to the market being what it is and Markus' desire to return to Vancouver," Gillis told the Province.
Hmmm, 6 Million a year...doesn't leave much for Canucks to go after Niedermayer anymore.....but I still think Canucks should still have a chance to get him at 5 million (20 million for 4 years)....the major downfall is that Calgary has more room in the cap situation than Canucks....so if I was a betting person, more likely he will end up in Calgary....which sucks, cause Jovo will be a Unrestricted by the end of the year (2006).....and he would love to move back east......that is why I would love to sign Niedermayer, and trade Jovo.
Everything is just my opinion.
Cheers
