Sedins want $63 million contract each

The Los Angeles correspondent of Swedish newspaper Expressen reported “Daniel and Henrik Sedin both want 12-year, $63 million contracts to stay with the Vancouver Canucks. They’ll be unrestricted free agents on July 1″…

If you average it out it’s 5.25 million each per season. The contact would obviously be front loaded with buy out options toward the end. It sounds like a lot of money at first glance but with Roberto Luongo between the pipes and the Sedin twins locked up long term Vancouver would have a good core to build around.
