Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign F Jannik Hansen to 4-Year, $10m Extension ($2.5m AAV w/ LNTC)

[Eddy Punch Clock]

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

No... really...

 

[Nuckles]

Holy crap, great cap hit.

 

[Fa Ci La]

Sedins to spilt the saved 1.5 million obviously

 

[Messien]

Great value at 2.5.

 

[Mason10]

My god, I love this so much.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

If there's one thing Gillis is great at, it's re-signing players for cheap.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

$2.5m AAV.



Way to go Gillis!

what? amazing.

no movement clause? more like he doesn't have to go to road games if he doesn't want to.

 

[NoShowWilly]

very happy with this signing

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Now just announce that extension for the Twins and everything is set...

Surprisingly news-packed Saturday evening/Sunday morning. Usually this is the quiet time of the week.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

remind me why players like higgins and probably hansen get NTC's?
this stinks of calgary's situation

 

[Bleach Clean]

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.

Good guess.

Higgins and Hansen are solid middle 6 players to have for the foreseeable future. Gillis still gets his contracts right.

Hansen signs 4-yr, $10 M deal in Van City. $2.5 M AAV

per Lebrun

 

[Drop the Sopel]

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.

Wow. What a deal for Hansen. This is akin to Burrows 4 year, $8mil deal.

This is going to look ridiculous as the cap increases dramatically over the next 4 years and Hansen cements himself on the 2nd line.

 

[Addison Rae]

Amazing deal!

lol you can't complain until there is actually information that he got one.

Who cares about the NTC. (if there is one) Gillis isn't going to trade away that quality of player with that low of a cap hit anyways.

 

[LovableLinus*]

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

Why would he bolt to Winnipeg? I understand it's more desirable than Vancouver, but still, there are 28 other cities/teams too.

no mention of NTC...where you see this?

Higgins has a limited NTC. They aren't really NTCs - just stops them from getting dumped in Edmonton or Calgary, and even then it didn't stop Heatley from going to Minnesota. Guys with those move all the time.

 

[Jyrki]

Awesome!

(And people doubted me when I said he'd get Stalberg money or less )

Nothing wrong with giving such a clause to a player that still has upside (and has shown that he can improve). It's hardly like giving it to guys like that have "flat-lined" or on their "downside".

I'm obviously referring to Hansen only (considering this thread is about...Hansen).

His wife is from there and they have an offseason home there.

 

[Bieksa#3]

He's always taking less money to play in vancouver. Very admirable, you know he's not a greedy guy.

 

[luongo321]

2.5/yr?! wow. honey badger is a real team player.

 

[MS]

Great deal. I didn't think there was a chance in hell he signed for under $3 million/year.

Should probably fire his agent because he would have received at least $4 million/year as an UFA.
