[Pip]

Should be under a mill which will give us a little bit of wiggle room during the season

 

[Oliewud]

woooo hooo

 

[Bgav]

Finally

 

[Addison Rae]

hopefully it's a million or under

 

[Ainec]

Baertschi saw what GMJB did to Clendening

 

[Butcher]

Finally, would like to see the dollar value.

 

[Canucks LB]

Should be 1m. Will be 1.5 watch

 

[CRDragon]

Remainder of the cap space left after trading for Sutter.

 

[absolute garbage]

It's time to put up or bust.

He will get tons of chances. Question is does his play justify those chances or not.

 

[Samzilla]

No whammies no whammies no whammies no whammies.

 

[huntison]

Cmon 1mil

 

[polarbearcub]

Praise benning!!' Woooo!

 

[Siludin]

I am guessing $1.4m flat.

 

[Jabba The Hutton]

3 years, 2.15M AAV, leaves us with 23k in cap space

 

[DCantheDDad]

I have a sinking feeli g the cap hit will be something silly. Glad we got him signed though.

 

[arsmaster*]

Glad it's only for one year. Show us now Sven.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Just curious, why does it always take longer for the media to get the dollar amount than the signing and term? Can't all info be divulged in one quick conversation.

I think it's because the media gets the salary numbers from the player's agent, while news of the signing comes from the club.

 

[The Stig]

Awesome news!

 

[Canadian Canuck]

We have a ton of UFAS/RFAS next yr....should make for an exciting deadline.

 

[Tommy]

Looks like its not or never for Sven in Vancouver.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Reported as playing as 2nd line winger.

Baertschi - Sutter/Horvat - Burrows/Vrbata

 

[PM]

I'm happy that this is for just 1 year. Don't really care other than that. If Sutter is his puck distributing centre than he is going to have a tough time.

 

[y2kcanucks]

I'm guessing it'll be for $800k. People are expecting $1.5M or so but when you look around at what these types of players sign for, $800k is about right.
