Sedins will wait until after season to decide on future with Canucks

Henrik and Daniel Sedin will apparently remain with the Vancouver Canucks through the trade deadline.

General manager Jim Benning said Friday that the Canucks organization and the Sedins have agreed to play out the rest of the season and then revisit the matter before the franchise points leaders' contracts expire July 1, according to Sportsnet's Iain MacIntyre.

The twin Swedish forwards met with Benning on Wednesday, but didn't provide him with a definitive answer regarding what they want to do when their deals run out in the summer.

"They're still undecided about what the future holds for them," the GM told MacIntyre. "We've all agreed let's just play out these final games and we'll see where we're at. At the end of the year, we'll sit down again and see what they're thinking. We'll tell them what we're thinking and we'll figure it out from there."

Last week, Henrik told TSN 1040 that he and Daniel would try to let the Canucks know by the Feb. 26 trade deadline whether they wanted to either agree to a hypothetical deal to a contender before the deadline, re-sign with the club at season's end, or retire at that point.

Both are pending unrestricted free agents in the final campaign of dual four-year, $28-million contract extensions inked in the fall of 2013.

The 37-year-olds have spent their entire 17-year careers with the Canucks. Henrik ranks first in team history in assists, points, and games played, while Daniel sits first in goals, second in both assists and points, and second in games played.
