The worst part is management seems to be letting them call the shots. Linden has said repeatedly its up to them if they return and that they are Canucks as long as they want to be. Also used them as an excuse to not start a rebuild years ago. Signing Eriksson was also a direct result of trying to find them a winger.
It's not like this team is ready for anything next year nor would they be stealing spots from anybody. Pettersson may be ready for the NHL right away but he'll carve his own niche when he's ready even with the Sedins lingering around. Honestly wouldn't mind them back on a one year deal. It's better than scouring the free agent market bargain bin for the likes of Gagner, Del Zotto, and Burmistrov.
While we all give Benning a hard time about mentors mentoring mentors for mentorship roles, the Sedins are really the only two people who I think this applies to. Constantly the hardest workers, exemplary in the community, and can teach the younguns how to lick that peanut butter off some fingers.
That all said, I wouldn't be upset to see them go. Would be the official start of the Horvat era
Not only that the a large portion of the wasted draft picks was to accelerate a retool so they could be a part of a winner again.The worst part is management seems to be letting them call the shots.

Good God noOne year deal. 4M each. Keep mentoring the kids. Pettersson especially.
Blaming the twins for the front office mess? This is a new low.
