[QUOTE="COOL MAN, post: 129318849, member: 1080466"] So, the current rumors are that Sutter will sign for 5 years/$22 million; that [B]is[/B] a little lower than I expected......you know I figured him at $25 million. Of course, it becomes more and more clear each year that hockey players place a more extreme emphasis on [B]term[/B] (over sheer dollars) than in other team sports. From what I can tell, the Canucks faithful/media appear to think they stole Sutter; though I know nobody in Pittsburgh sees it that way. But that makes it a good deal for both teams. If BS gets to center their #2 line, he'll presumably have better line-mates than he did in Pittsburgh.....which probably gives him a shot at being a 55-60 point guy. And if that happens, $4.4m/season probably[B] is[/B] a fairly reasonable AAV in 2016. We don't have to play the Canucks.....and I always liked Sutter......so I myself wish him good luck. [/QUOTE]
