For a lot of people who live or work in the valley, it's hard to get to GM Place by that time. Mind you, if I had tickets to a Canuck's game, I'd say, "Fuck work," and leave early.

If your boss is a big Canuck fan, he will allow you to skip work and leave early. He'll be doing the same.  | |

lol
but the sedins will not be a short term thing, so theres a good and bad
Hossa will nto be long term, thats a known fact judging how he just jumps around

Why are we even talking about the offseason? lol
But just to keep going...would you pay 6mill or 7 mill for Calamari? now, would you really pay him that much?. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he get only like 40-50 pts last year and this year he has 80+ playing with iggy?
I wish we could have gotten Franzen.. now that was a bargain!

On the topic of UFA's the Sedins are a must sign whatever the cost. There are only a handful of 80+ point guys in the NHL and it's all but impossible to replace two of them. Even if there were two available you can't replace two of them for any cheaper then what the Sedins would sign for here. On the open market someone will come up with the 6.5-7 the Sedins want and pay them it, probably Toronto.

Hossa will nto be long term, thats a known fact judging how he just jumps around | Looking at next year's UFA, I don't think its a question of If but more of When they sign the twins. Probably see one of those super long term deals to lower the cap hit.
lol @ Gomez, Drury, Redden's contracts!

At the beginning of last year, with the cap going up a steady 10-15% every year, maybe... but GMs know, any deal they make like that will screw them after next season. Two UFAs like that and a third of your cap space will be gone. Player agents know this as well, and know that their players will have to start accepting either less money, or a very short term, or they simply won't be getting a deal.
Gillis has the same problem with the Sedins - I'm sure he'd have no problem paying them $5.5-$6M apiece, but it's just not feasible to do so without blowing out almost every other player making more than $2M before the 2010/11 season.

i'm just hoping the sedins want to stay canucks enough that they might actually take a pay cut. you hear some of the other guys on the team talking about taking a slight pay cut - because they think that if it frees up cap space, and allows for better players to join the team, they have a better chance at the cup.

NHLPA doesn't like when players talk pay cuts and they made that clear earlier in the season when Ryan K was talking about pay cuts.

why don't they like that? it'd be better for the team - and this IS a team sport....
is it because it will bring up issues about the cap?
