Sharp is worth that kind of money.

We might be thinking he isn't worth a salary that's only 200k less than the Sedins, who have 23 and 33 more points than him but that's an unfair comparison as the Sedins signed their deal when they were in Sharp's point range AND they took less than they would've gotten on the open market to stay in Vancouver.

You really can't compare the salaries with the ones on the Canucks. We sometimes think they're ridiculous but almost to the man, every Canuck is being paid less than they could've gotten elsewhere. EVEN LUONGO. There are 7 goalies ahead of his $5.33m cap hit.

Sharp's numbers are roughly equivalent to Kesler's but he's getting paid more. Who would you rather have...even if their salaries were equivalent?

The Canucks roster is a bargain. We need to gift Mike Gillis with frankincense and myrrh.
