IF you were GM, who would you replace teh sedins' 160 points with for 12 mill? You're definitely not gonna get TWO good players with teh point production of the sedins for 12 mill. Joe Thornton who didn't edge out the sedins by much points and he's getting 7.2 mill, Kovalchuck gets 7.5, and jerome iginla is getting 7mill. With Jeff Carter getting 5 mill and Parise about teh same, when their contracts expire and assuming they continue their point production, what do you think they'll get? So, you sign ONE of these players for about 7 mill., 5 mill to get a first line centre that produces the same points as hank is going to be tough.
These guys have higher point production than some guys making a lot more money than they are and they've shown consistency over the years. I have no problem with the contracts that the sedins want besides the length. they're no zetterberg, ovenchicken or crosby, btu then again, detroit IMO took a chance with frazen. But franzen was a beast last year and the end of the year before, especially during playoffs.
