Category: Contract Talks
No Comments »

Daniel and Henrik Sedin have signed a contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks.  The new contract is  5 years long, and is worth 6.1 million dollars per season.

This comes after a last minute flight 24 hours before free agency was to begin, that saw the Canucks GM Mike Gillis on a plane on his way to Sweden to meet the Sedins.  Mike Gillis and the canucks Assistant GM met with the Sedins and their agent JP Barry for little more than 2 hours, before hopping back on a flight heading back to Vancouver.

The deal was announced an hour before free agency was to begin this morning.

The Sedin twins have played their entire careers in vancouver, after being drafted #’s 2 and 3 overall in the 1999 NHL entry draft by Brian Burke.  They each had 82 point seasons in 2008-2009, with identical 10 point playoff runs going into the 2nd round with the Canucks.  This new contract ensures the Canucks retain their top line.

Luongo Signs Extension

Category: Contract Talks
No Comments »

ESPN has reported to the Pratt and Taylor show on Team1040 sports radio today, that Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo has agreed to terms on a long term contract extension that will be officially announced by the Vancouver Canucks on July 1st.  Because Roberto still has a year left on his current contract, an official signing cannot be made until after July1st.  Thus the Canucks are expected to make the announcement on july 1st, or shortly thereafter.  Roberto Luongo had nine shutouts this past season, with a record of 33 – 13 - 7 .  Since coming to Vancouver in a trade seeing Todd Bertuzzi sent to the Florida Panthers, Roberto Luongo has a record of 115 – 64 – 22 with twenty shutouts.  Once announced, this will be a great step forward for the Canucks in luring east-coast NHL talent to Vancouver, and solidifes the rumours that Roberto was building a summer home on Nicola Lake, just outside of Merritt BC.

Marian Gaborik, Future Vancouver Canuck?

Category: Contract Talks
No Comments »

The Vancouver Province reported this morning that Marian Gaborik has purchased a home in West Vancouver.  Gaborik is an Unrestricted Free Agent come July 1st, and it doesn’t look like he will be resigning with the Minnesota Wild.  Gaborik played with current Canuck Pavol Demitra when Demitra was a member of the Minnesota Wild.  This looks like a Plan B move that Canucks GM Mike Gillis may make, depending on how talks are between the Sedin twins and the Canucks organization.

On other new Vancouver Canucks off season news, it has been reported that Roberto Luongo is in the process of building a home on Nicola Lake near Merritt BC.  If true, it would show that Roberto Luongo plans on staying in Vancouver for the long term, as he has stated in the off-season that he likes Vancouver and would like to stay. 

There is now new news out of the Sedin twins saga, the last rumour was the agent for the twins, JP Barry, wanted a 12 year, 63 million contract for each of the Sedin twins.  With free agency less than a week away, we won’t have to wait much longer to see what ends up happening.

Latest out of the Vancouver Canuck rumour mill is that Daniel and Henrik Sedin are both seeking a 12 year, $63 million contract.  this would make their new contracts comparable to Henrik Zetterberg’s  12 year $73 million contract.  It’s been rumoured by a swedish website (expressen.se) that this is true, and the Sedin twins want to finish their careers in Vancouver by signing this long term deal.  Neither the Sedin twins or their agent JP Barry would comment on the rumour.  The Sedins have said they want to stay and the Canucks want to re-sign them, however the length and price terms of a front-loaded contract like this one might make that a difficult scenario.

Rick Rypien Signs Extension

Category: Contract Talks
No Comments »

Yesterday the Vancouver Canucks signed forward Rick Rypien to a two year contract extension, that will see him under contract to the Vancouver Canucks through the  2010-2011 NHL season.

Rick Rypien has been with the Vancouver Canucks for five seasons.  This past season he played in twelve regular season games, netting a total of three goals.  he also had 19 penalty minutes in those 12 games.  During the 2 rounds the Canucks made it to in this past post-season, Rypien had two assists and 40 penalty minutes. 

With this contract extension, Rypien is now put into a solid spot in this teams line-up, most likely up on the third line, with possible second line minutes if he can stay healthy.  His knack for injuries is the only thing holding Rypien back from moving into a stronger bigger game.

Neidermayers in Vancouver?

Category: Contract Talks
No Comments »

The Team1040 reported yesterday that the agent for the Neidermayer brothers has been in contact with Mike Gillis and the Vancouver Canucks.  Apparently the Neidermayers are interested in playing for the Canucks in the 2009-2010 season.  The Neidermayers are natives of Cranbrook BC , and will be Unrestricted Free Agents come July 1st.  With the Winter Olympics coming to Vancouver in 2010, wouldn’t the Canucks be a great fit for Scott and Rob Neidermayer to come and play with?  The Canucks should have enough cap space to sign the Neidermayers and the Sedins.  This goes to say though that Mats Sundin  probably wouldn’t be back, and Mattias Ohlund wouldn’t make a return either.  I would like Ohlund back, but at his price, we could have local BC boys who have proven Stanley Cup experience.  It’s going to be an interesting summer.

Canucks Re-sign Steve Bernier

Category: Contract Talks
No Comments »

Mike Gillis, GM of the Vancouver Canucks, announced today that the Vancouver Canucks have re-signed Canucks forward Steve Bernier.  Bernier, 24, would have been a restricted free agent come July 1st.  He made 2.5 Million this year, and it’s reported that his new contract is a 2 year deal worth 2 million a season.  Along with the contract, the Canucks have challenged Bernier to improve his hands, skating and conditioning over the summer break, providing him with a nutritionist, and a specialized coach to help with his skating stride.  They also have designed a conditioning program for Bernier to follow, that will include game-play like situations that will hopefully improve his awareness and finishing touch around the net.  Steve Bernier had 15 goals for the Canucks this past season, but had a countless number of chances around the net, missing or fanning on great scoring opportunities.

“We all would’ve liked to seen him scores more goals with the opportunities he had,” Mike Gillis said. “But he got those opportunities and he generated those opportunities. We’re hoping he will be able to relax and capitalize on those chances”.

Blackhawks eliminate Canucks

Category: Stanley Cup Playoffs
No Comments »

The Canucks season is over.

After a crazy end to end game, that saw the Canucks down 3-1 early in the second period, they came back and took a 4-3 lead, then a 5-4 lead with just 7 minutes left in the 3rd period, but doing as they had done in the last few games, the Canucks could not hold the fort, and the fast young Blackhawks team came back and tied the game at 5-5, and added two more to seal the deal.  Penalties killed the Canucks tonight, giving up 3 powerplay goals on 4 blackhawk powerplays.

The turning point in the playoffs for the Canucks?  Game 4, with 2:44 left in the 3rd period, the Canucks had a 2-1 lead.  2:44 left to take a 3-1 lead in the series, they fail.  Chicago scored with 2:44 left in the third and score shortly in overtime to take the win.  This was the turning point for the Vancouver Canucks and they never did fully recover from game 4. 

The Chicago Blackhawks will move on to the Western Conference Championships, to meet the winner of the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks series.

Who will be on the team next year?  Some notable names that may not return include Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Mattias Ohlund, and Mats Sundin.  This was not the year for the Canucks.  We, as fans, are still waiting.
