interesting how there is an NHL team in winnipeg now. I'm not really sure where you're going with this chief.

C'mon man, the Atlantha Thra- I mean, the Winnipeg Jets are the best run franchise in the NHL. All they do is win, they've had amazing fan support for years and they play in a world class city. It's almost unfair to compare them to any other NHL team. Every kid in North America dreams of putting on a Winnipeg Jets jersey some day.

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm commenting about the fact that you'd gladly pay Getzlaf and Perry $8.5 million, with physical play being your reason, yet you think the Sedins are only worth $4.5 million.

That's fine that you prefer physical players, but that personal preference should have no part in what the Sedins value is.

Whether you like their style or not, the Sedins are unquestionably $6.1 million dollar players.

To say they're only $4.5 million players because they don't play physical is ridiculous.


Also, Ben Eager also has a ring—do you think that means he deserves more on a contract than a comparable player simply because if that reason?

Now who is being over dramatic . Comparing Eager to Perry or Getz. They are all around players in every aspect of the game . The Sedins are offensive players.

I seen someone discussing with you the other day about the Sedins defensive players but did not comment on it. I think they are terrible in their own end but that's my opinion and keep it to myself until now.

I'm not comparing Eager to Perry and Getzlaf. Perry and Getzlaf are fantastic players.

I'm adding some context to your ring argument.

Sure, a ring is great, and means they have playoff experience, but a players value is based on their level of play on the ice.


You fabricate this type of stuff all the time. Just like you claimed I said people would choose a Sedin over Perry in your last post—I never said that.

You need to read my posts more carefully.

So if Henrik is horrible defensively, why has he been top 20 in Selke voting for 6 straight years?

Interesting how the still qualify for help from the profitable teams
- Bieksa#3

I didn't realize they received money from profitable teams? Check your facts before making ill informed comments. Your comments are similar to me telling you the majority of the province's revenue comes from Northern BC.... did you realize that? That is fact, your comments are not as its documented the Jets continue to make a profit each and every year.

You welcomed Vantal to grade one. You can't welcome somebody to a place that you don't belong.

Another victory for the Canucks prospects. And that's without Boho and Shinkaruk. Gaunce and Cassels stood out to me today.

I apologize if you think I insinuated that, but again, nowhere did I say this...

Again, it doesn't matter whether you like the Sedins or not, or whether you "see things differently"—the market dictates the value.

By points alone, and nothing else, the Sedins are at least $6.1 million players.

And as far as your "last word" comment goes, what do you expect? If you have a problem with somebody not liking your comments and responding to them, you probably shouldn't post them on a public message board.

I defend my views and opinions.

Trust me I know they will get term and salary here. This is Vancouver the resting home for players on NTC/NMC .

I know it will happen and we will pay dearly. They didn't win us a cup in their prime but now that they are slowing down maybe they can do it.


Yep yep great reset this year . Effin Richardson. Plan the parade.

ahhh, so that's why they don't score in the playoffs. Too busy worrying about their defensive side of the game. Makes sense now....

Ah yes, a leaf fan ripping the twins in the playoffs. How many playoff series wins do Neon and Kessel have between them?
