PrintNik Kypreos (the real one) is tweeting that the Canucks have reportedly signed Sami Salo to a 1-year $2 million contract. He's still looking into the details. Salo surprised many with his durability in the latter stages of the playoffs and personally I thought he played rather well. As for the deal...well the UFA D are getting paid tons again this offseason but I would have preferred the same length but less dollars with incentives tacked on for games played. Having said that, $2 million is a lot less than the $3.5 million he earned last season.
The man is a trooper. He wants to win a Cup in Vancouver. He took a pay cut. Bottom line.

I think we can all agree that Sami took a home town discount on that one – and I’m thrilled to see him back.
If he wasn’t effective as he is when he plays I’d object more profusely

Marvelous
Gillis is going to have close to 4 million in cap space, by my latest calculation.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Good stuff
I thought he would, but when I saw what other D were signing for, I got a bit worried. There’s stupid amounts of money making the rounds over the past couple of days!
Flying that Nerd Flag high!
Great to hear
I really felt for him the most in the wake of game 7, having played so long without a chance to win the Cup. I sincerely hope the boys can get it done next year just so he can retire happy.

don’t get hurt
