The Sedin Sisters are crying about NOT getting enough ice time and wanting a raise from their 3 million dollars (bonus included) salary they earned last year. They want more ice time then I say give it to them down in Manitoba. They gave Dave Nonis till September 15th to give them a new deal with a raise and more ice time OR they will sign with MoDo in Sweden.

should have traded them while they were still cheap commodities ...
now they can't trade them unless they sign em and can't sign em unless they pay them (unless I am wrong again and then 2K posters will let me know).
but good riddance if they are gone ... the skill is there ... at times ... otherwise ...

The first mistake was Burke wheeling and dealing (and I use that term lightly) to get them in the first place. Anytime a player(s) tell you that we want to go to the same team because we want to play together............RUN..........they hadn't even played yet and they are dictating.
Let em go to Modo good riddance.
Let em go to Modo good riddance.
Every year the Sedins have been improving. Send them packing now, and watch the two darling sisters turn into "elite" NHL players.
I say lets carry them a little further. At this point whats it going to hurt. And who do you get to replace them, without shelling out more cash? --- Kev

Daniel Had 54 pts last year...... Henrik had 42 pts ...............and they think that they are worth more than 3 million a year for that kind of production.......they should consider that a gift keep their mouth shut and be happy they have a job.
Some experiments just don't work out.....cut your losses and move on

The Sedins are a joke I don't care if they come here or play in Sweden I'm sick of spending my hard earned money @ General Motors Place and watching them just cycle the puck and do nothing with it. The need grit players NOT finess players, they should of kept Trent Klatt, but Brian Burke said he'd drive him to the airport if he got a raise from another team.
Actually Scott231 & BDAClub.....
The Sedins aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be. The last year was a huge improvement over previous years. If we let them go or at least Daniel we will regret it.
Trent Klatt played 82 games with 43 points. Henrik played 76 games and has 42 points. I don't see what the big deal is with Klatt.
I checked on the net and this is what i found out....
Center, Vaclav Prospal from Anaheim, 82 games played with 54 points scored........makes $6,650,000
Winger, Brendan Shanahan from Detroit, 82 games played with 53 points scored.......makes $6,650,000
Winger, Tony Amonte from Philly, 80 games played with 53 points scored...........makes $5,846,000
Center, Chris Drury from Buffalo, 76 games played with 53 points scored.........makes $3,450,000
If Marian Gaborik would have played a 82 game schedule last year (he only played 65 games with 40 points) he would have 51 points, yet he maked $2,900,000. I don't think its out of line to give Hendrik more money.
Can you find players that have the same point total as above but make much less? Sure. But those players will be looking for more money too.
If you want to say the bums above don't deserve their salary for only putting up marginal points.........well that would be another topic.
I think if i had the power i would drop Hendrik, but keep Daniel............and then bring in Kariya.
Daniel of the two still hasn't found his niche, but when he does hes going to be flying. And Kariya if he can remain healthy is an awesome player. --- Kev

i think it'd be pretty stupid to move them now that they've finally showed some signs of breaking out.
and if they do, they'll pretty much have to find a new second line.
i've also heard rumours of markus naslund wanting to leave as well.
if he does, they should replace him with palffy or someone.

Re: Actually Scott231 & BDAClub.....
Those guys had a couple of great years signed a big contract cause the owners are idiots and then went into a spiral......DOWN.....the Sedin Sisters haven't even had ONE good year......and all mentioned Kev.....aren't worth anywhere near there contracts now.
Watching Iginla tonight even though he didn't score that guy is worth the price if admission no problem!!
