[Nuckles]

Aww yiss!!!

Next up: Sedins

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Wow, good job. If it's under 4m I'll be happy.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

My guess is $3.75m / year over four years. Limited NMC, similar to Higgins.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

4 years at $3.75mil is my guess.

Heck of a player. Will really thrive under Torts IMO.

 

[Wisp]

Oh! Excellent! I thought he was going to bolt to Winnipeg in free agency, honestly.

 

[luongo321]

woooo. i wonder if the sedins are close to re-signing as well.

 

[Jumex]

I'm guessing 4 x 2.75.

But anything under 3.5 is good value for what he brings, statistically a fringe top 6 guy.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

hopefully no NTC

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

Awesome!

 

[Wisp]

hopefully no NTC

Yeah. Gives us a legit tradeable asset (if we were so inclined to do so).

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

On second thought, I wonder if the deal will be much different from Higgins' ($2.5m / year). He only signed that in the spring, and both guys fulfill similar roles on the team.

I'll amend my guess to the $2.5 to $3m per year range with a limited NMC.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Um, this is surprising. Guess is 3.5m per.

Hopefully, the Sedins aren't far behind.

 

[Bieksa#3]

Great ! His versatility and work ethic have been nothing short of amAzing his entire career so far. To me he's been he hardest working Canuck game in and game out since he's been on the Canucks.

The contract he earns will be very deserving IMO. He's one guy I hardly ever say has a poor game.

Always go with your 1st instinct.

This amended guess is too low IMO.

 

[Alan Jackson]

hopefully no NTC

I'm guessing he got one. Gillis gives 'em to everybody, and it really hurts with roster flexibility.

If Higgins got one...

 

[m9]

3.25 a yr IMO.

 

[NoShowWilly]

hopefully no NTC

oh you know he has one.

 

[Nuckles]

My guess is a $3.25M cap hit with a partial/limited NTC.

 

[m9]

Wow, 2.5 a year. Great deal.

 

[Alan Jackson]

Same deal as Higgins, 2.5 per. Excellent cap hit.

 

[stevecanuck16]

Anything around or under $3.75m and I'm happy. Hansen has become a true part of this team's core.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

$2.5m AAV.

Way to go Gillis!

 

[thefeebster]

Great deal! Hansen deserves more for what he brings but we certainly can't complain. This is a wonderful contract.

We need that Braveheart picture right about now.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Always go with your 1st instinct.

This amended guess is too low IMO.

I guess not!

I'm really pleasantly surprised. Great value for Hansen. From where I sit, it also says a lot about his desire to play in Vancouver.
