Looks like the twins have been signed. Anywhere from 3-4 million per year. Being last year's point leaders, I think they deserve it. Good thing too, the Canucks have been waiting on them for a couple years to finally start earning their paychecks. If we let them go now, what a waste of time and money it would have been.

What's the count up to now, 28 million tied up? That being said, the Canucks have 16 million left to fill up the rest of the roster. I guess that's not too bad. Still need another good winger to fit next to Naslund and whoever the center might be (Morrison still?). How about Carter? He hasn't been signed yet. Carter may have been the single most important reason the twins were so successful last year.

Said it before, Carter was as good as he was because of the work the Sedins did for him ... the nucks know that and will sign him to close to what the other bros. got ... maybe 2.3 - 2.5 or so ...

Carter was the reason the twins did as well. Hope Vancouver does not do the Hull & Oates = just Hull thing the Blues did a few years ago when it was obvious to everyone that Oates helped make Brett one Hull of a goal scorer.
Totally. The reason the twins did so well is because Carter compliments them perfectly (and conversely, Carter did well because of the twins). The Sedins have always worked well together, but Carter's the only other person who has ever worked really well with them. That line had everything working last year, and if Carter doesn't get signed, it's going to fall apart.

right now they have 9 players inked totalling $30 million. Trade Cloutier frees up 2.5, so that's 8 players at 27.5 mill. Our cheap ass owners will not let Nonis spend to near the cap. Reports are he can only spend $40 mill. even though the cap is $44 mill. So that leaves 12 players to sign with only 12.5 mill left. Not good.

They spent 39 mill last year, and can only spend 1 mill more this year. Last years team wasn't good enough, and this years team will have even less talent on it. No playoffs. Not Nonis's fault either. It's those cheap bastards McCaw and Aquilini. They made money last year but are pissed about not getting the playoff revenue so to make it up in there minds they are instituting there own cap. Pathetic. They don't seem to realize that by doing so they are kissing away any playoff revenue from next year cuz the team is going to be worse and not even come close to the playoffs.

I think we're starting to really see why Burke is gone.

Its called Moneyball. You dont make a team full of all stars. All we need is a centre , 2 solid wingers. We should call up a player or 2. Sign a couple D. Its not gona be hard. YOu DO NOT HAVE TO MAX OUT ON THE CAP TO MAKE A GOOD TEAM.
