Finally some "news" about the Sedins. Rumored to be looking for 12 year/63 million dollar contracts for each of them (cap hit 5.25M/yr). To me, the cap hit fair, but for a contract of that length, it should be cheaper, something in the neighborhood of 4.5 million/yr.
They compared themselves to Zetterberg (who signed a 12 year/73 million dollar contract for a cap hit a touch over 6 million, when he could have easily gotten 7 million on a shorter term contract, which would have been fair). They aren't at Zetterbergs level, and seeing as how he sacrificed money for security, I think the Sedins are in the same boat as well.
Hopefully this is just the starting point, and negotiations are still on. I'd hate to lose these 2 players. The things they do on the ice are something special.
