Would you want the Sedins on your favorite team at their new contract of 6.1 mil (12.2 mil total and 21% of your cap) with NMCs for the next five years?
EDIT ...Forgot to add the poll... Mods if you could add a simple yes or no or delete this thread, that'd be super.
The Sedins are far better players than they get credit for. I don't know if it is because they are Euros that aren't very flashy or because they play way out west so the eastern media types have to stay up till all hours of the night to watch them play, but they are damn good.
I'm happy with Datsyuk and Zetterberg at 12.8 a year.
I do agree that the Sedins are very good players though. Most nights against most teams they control the play and their cycle game is as good as it gets right now.
I'm on the fence but leaning towards no. They're getting a big luxury in staying together but didn't want to make a concession salary wise, I think $10-11m would be a bargain but over 12? I dono...
No, but not because they arent worth the money, but because i think its ridicilous to be stuck with 2 players and 12 million cap hit, just imagine if in couple years they started to suck so bad that they would barely be 2nd line players.
No. This deal sucks. I expected more from identical twins. The Sedin's are like Master Blaster from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. They need each other to survive and really should only count as 1 entity.

Yes, they are worth it. Take a look at the market and you'll see people like Gomez making over 7 million, Ryan Smyth with a cap hit of 6.5. The going rate for front line players once they hit their late 20's is not cheap, thats just how it is.
