What Would YOU Do?

HAHAHA Ok let’s try to be serious here. HAHA sorry i’m trying really hard. It is rumoured that The Sedins are looking for a contract in the neighbourhood of… ready for this… $128 Million for the pair. HAHAHA sorry i just can’t stop laughing about this. So let’s do the math, that would work out to $5.33 million each per year, not bad right? But for 12 YEARS?

I realize they are twins. I get that they are really good players. But do they share a brain?

So I ask of What Would You Do if the Twins make it to be Free Agents on July 1st and their Agent calls you up and says “Hey The Sedins want to play for your team”…

Let’s hear it!

PS HAHAHAHA

    I like your ideas too leafer84, but the difference is I wouldnt MIND getting a bottom 5 pick, I just dont feel right wanting my team to lose. I would rather finish 15-20that and have a team that really improved and looks promising for the next year, and develope great then another bottom 5 finish. Thats just me though, that why again and again I say we should “go for broke” this year and try to get the highest pick possible

    @ Jordan
    .
    I agree with the sentiment of not wanting your team to lose all season but it’s just one more year. Another top pick in the 2010 draft along with more depth picks would go a long way in ensuring that the Leafs never have another top 14 picks for the next decade or two.
    .
    The problem with the Leaf rebuilds of the past is that they didn’t do it right, and that led to halfassery…
    .
    So if we get Schenn Sr, Schenn Jr, & Lets say Taylor Hall, along with many more picks in the other rounds, it will the Leafs in a wayyyyyy better shape where they could let their own players develop and add pieces from the UFA/Trades… and not rely fully on the UFA market like they had in the past

    We could look to better players coming with cheaper prices.

    Really? Name one.

    With the Sedins you get a telepathy no two other players will ever enjoy. A front loaded contract for that value isn’t a dreadful deal, the problem is pairing them with the right guy. For whatever reason they enjoy playing with unlikely characters… Alex Burrows and Anson Carter for instance.

    who is brian burke’s favourite player?

    Ryan Getzlaf

    hes a bruiser a scorer and a leader

    who was his previous favourite player?

    Todd Burtuzzi

    see any similarities?

    burke wants brayden schenn and will do what it takes to get him

    50/50 on the Sedins and yes they are worth it

    he’ll go after pahlsson and beaucha….beauchi…..beauchamin? however you spell it, ( better than what a ” waist ” )

    kaberle needs to go, regardless and while its just a pipedream, kabby for jordan staal would be amazing

    kubina for captain

    I’m pretty sure I’d rather hold onto Pavel Kubina than Tomas Kaberle. I’m hoping Stralman can pick up his game and be able to help ease the pain of losing Kaberle’s breakout pass and skils.
    I’d probably rather hold onto both Pavel and Tomas, however if the right package comes for them, they’re both on a jet outta here!

    I keep going back and forth on the Sedins.
    .
    Two 80+ point players for $5.25M cap hit is a very good deal. And rationally, there shouldn’t be anything stopping us from wanting to make this deal. As mentioned above, the term shouldn’t really matter because 8-9 years in, buy-out, trade, or retirement will factor in.
    .
    But there are many intangibles that I simply can’t describe when it comes to the Sedins. Maybe it is a lack of character. Lack of playoff production. Whatever it is, there is a lack of something that just makes me cringe at the thought of them playing in the blue and white for the next decade.

    Toronto needs some good forwards we got goalies and tough defence but thats it we got to grab some forwards 1 or 2 new fresh ones heres the best free agent one that are left that art older
    Mike Comrie
    Jason Williams
    Maxim Afinogenov
    Ales Kotalik
    Alex Tanguay
    Kyle Calder
    Matt Pettinger

    i personaly think Jason Williams would be a good fit in TOR

    and im surprised they didn’t grab Nick Boynton defence big guy hes good
