We've heard all the rumours about the Vancouver Canucks and the Sedins being a million dollars apart on contract negotiations, with the Canucks offering around $5.5M for each, and the twins' agent, J.P. Barry, asking $6.5M. Mike Gillis, Canucks GM, has been very receptive to new ideas regarding team management this year, so we here at "Head To The Net" thought we'd offer a few suggestions to help him bridge the gap. 
Exhibit A:
Following a rich history of constant jersey turnover, we propose the 4072nd jersey design in the team's 30 year history. Surely the Swedish twins would feel more at home wearing their national colours. As a bonus, Canucks marketing can advertise it as a colour not yet seen in the stands of GM Place, allowing fans to embrace the "Sea of Rainbow".
Exhibit B: Speaking of the team's home arena, surely General Motors would like the idea of selling something in 2009. Mike Gillis, can you convince the Aquelinis to make this happen? Ikea Place sounds nice, doesn't it?
Following along the theme of bringing Sweden to Vancouver, if the above two initiatives fail, we propose a fullproof Plan C. Presenting the Vancouver Canucks new ice scraping girls for the 2009/2010 season, complete with uniforms:
