I think 5.5 mil a year for 5 years is a very good offer for these two.

Hope they accept. Don't want to see the Wonder Twins in another uniform.

If they dont they will go to another team and chances of them being split up is pretty high. Everyone knows that they are treated well by owners and management in Vancouver and that wouldnt likely ever happen, but any other team well its anyones game.

I don't think they'd be nearly as effective if they were split up. It's almost like one mind operating two bodies when they're on the ice.

So they'd better take the offer because, if they go on the open market, chances of them being split up are pretty good and after their first contract expires the probability of individually getting anything near what's offered by Vancouver are pretty slim.

The thing is they want to stay in Vancouver and will even settle discounts. They are a great pair of players and consistent with their production but their playoff records need to be addressed.

They're not going anywhere.

From the Canuck's Report:

"Daniel and Henrik Sedin are this club's offensive leaders and players we want to build around," said Mike Gillis. "Their level of performance in every area of the game is exceptional; both Daniel and Henrik are committed to winning and we want them to succeed as Vancouver Canucks."

Daniel averaged a point-per-game in the regular season and playoffs, sharing the team scoring lead with Henrik for the 2008-09 season. He recorded 31 goals, a career high 51 assists (31-51-82) and 36 penalty minutes in 82 games played. In 10 postseason contests he scored four goals, six assists (4-6-10) and had eight penalty minutes. Over the past five seasons he has missed only one of 410 NHL games.

Henrik shared the team lead in scoring and matched Daniel with a point-per-game average in 2008-09. He recorded a new career goal-high scoring 22 times, adding 60 assists (22-60-82) and 48 penalty minutes in 82 games played, his fourth consecutive 82-game season. He also recorded 10 points in 10 playoff games (4-6-10) with two penalty minutes.
