Well the cap issue plus the fact the NHLPA didn't want Ryan making it sound like he was encouraging other players to take pay cuts below the market values.

I wonder if their union dues are based on a percentage of players salary? Wouldn't be surprised if it was, and would explain why they don't encourage the "home team discount".

The league wants parity among the teams so of course they dont want teams stacked with players giving home discounts

Ok, so lets say the Sedins don't sign with the Canucks, would it really be the end of the world?

That is the million dollar question. It would be tough to replace them.
The reason why I'm too worried about the Sedins resigning is not too many teams in the NHL are willing to sign both of them. This was discussed during the NHL trade deadline and from what I read Burke and the Leafs have shown interested but even Burke said it would be tough for him or any team in the NHL to sign both of them. I think the best fit for them would be Vancouver if both sides can come up with a fair price.

They're sold out of this year's alternate jersey (no name) with the stick/rink logo except for size XXL (tagged at $139.99). They had lots of sizes for the home/away jerseys (no name) with orca logo for $139.99. They also had a good selection of named home/away/alternate jerseys for $219.99. I was surprised to find Linden and Bure white jerseys with the skate logo for $219.99 in many sizes. All no name womens jerseys seemed to have lots of sizes too ($89.99 I think).
I went to Sporchek at Pacific Centre in Downtown Vancouver. They had several sizes of the no name alternate jersey for $129.99, which I bought with a $20 off $100 coupon. They also have the old orca logo jerseys in navy or white for $39.99.

the sedins are a special case
this is the worst comparison or stat for anything, but henrik topped up 3 assists at the all star game
regardless, there could be teams out there that will take a chance and try to sign one. but contention teams will ahve to clear some space to make room for them
So this year its sedins + ohlund, next year is Kesler + Lu
its part of the league
i honestly believe that something will be done. They have stepped up their play in the final stretch b4 the playoffs, and with the emergence of MONSTER, the twins are even more pressured to sign if they want to produce. At the same time, with MONSTER coming up, the Canucks themselves want to get it done
They have FOUND the chemistry that has been lacking since Anson Carter
as for lu, you sign him, and probably means goodbye Freckle Schnieder

It can be done and it can certainly be done by Toronto. They had over 8 million in capspace as is and Gerber is a UFA so adious 3.7 million in dollars for him alone.
I hope I'm so wrong that baby jebus flys out of the skies and clubs me with his manger. The Sedins sign for 5 million or something lowish for them and I have egg all over my face, I'll own it. The rumor is Gillis had 5.5 each on the table before negotiations broke off for the year and they wern't willing to accept that at the time.

Sedins want a long term contract while gillis was only willing to give them a couple of years.
