Good morning one and all,
So Brandon Sutter received a 5-year contract extension from the Vancouver Canucks with an AAV of $4.375M. He gets a $1M signing bonus for each year, full NTC first 3 years of extension, modified NTC (15 teams) for last 2 years. He was traded twice already, so he gets some security for a bit. [CBS Sports]
What are some cap comparables for Brandon Sutter? Good article, in a hilarious coincidence written by Mike Johnston, who did not coach Brandon Sutter (presumably). [SportsNet]
Obviously the Canucks are looking for younger yet accomplished centers to stabilize the position as the Sedin twins are about to turn 35 and presumably will retire at some point soon.
