People always mention the Sedins' point production as being amongst the best in the league and it's true. However, when you look at the amount of goals they score, they are amongst the lowest first line duos in the conference. This past season they had a career high of 53 goals between them and when compared to the top 2 point getters of other teams in the conference, 10 out of 15 teams had a duo that scored more goals than the Sedins. If Gaborik had not been injured for the Wild and Sakic and Stastny weren't out for the Avs, I'm sure the Sedins would've ranked even lower.

Now, I'm not saying they're bad players and that we shouldn't resign them - I think they're good, reliable players. Realistically, we should resign them but the thought of having a healthy Gaborik is quite enticing as well.
