I thought for sure he would wait until he became a UFA. Good deal, I guess Nonis' stock is rising.

Well that makes the Canucks more solid in thier own end. I wonder what the ripple effect will be in terms of other signings?

What's the cap space like with this signing?

Ugly.

Player 2006-2007 Salary (US)
Roberto Luongo $6 million
Markus Naslund $6 million
Mattias Ohlund $3.5 million
Brendan Morrison $3.2 million
Dan Cloutier $2.55 million
Trevor Linden $1.52 million
Matt Cooke $1.508 million
Sami Salo $1.5 million

= 25.778M .. + .75 M because Luongo may only be getting paid 6.0 this year, but his cap hit is 6.75.

No Anson Carter, Daniel, Henrik, and their second best defensemen is Sami Salo ;)

That said, forwards and goalies drive your results, and it's hard to spend your money much better than Luongo and Naslund.

I thought the twins were qualified? Cloutier should be moved and I thought linden was a UFA, who if resigned would do so cheaply. But thanks for the compliment.
