The Canucks can only offer $1 miilion per year."I know where Anson is [in terms of how much money he wants] and if he's able to get any type of offers that he's hoping to get, then it's not going to work in Vancouver," said GM Dave Nonis.Carter signed a $1 miilion deal last season in Vancouver and scored 33 goals.Sens wouldn't budge from $6M offer for CharaZdeno Chara wanted to stay in Ottawa, but Ottawa apparently didn't want Chara enough for him to stay.With 23 teams contacting Chara, 15 making offers and seven teams offering over $7 million, Chara was still willing to stay with the Sens for less but Ottawa would not budge from their initial offer of $6 million."I thought Ottawa would be really aggressive. In the last nine days before July 1, we never received a phone call," Chara told the Ottawa Sun. "Myself and (agent) Matt (Keator) were just sitting there and making all the calls."We told them, 'Let's talk and let's negotiate.' They said: 'Six million, you sign it or we're going to go the other way.' They did."They chose Wade (Redden). He's an unbelievable player and a great guy. He's a good leader and they made the right decision. They are saying that Wade took less to stay in Ottawa, but we both got offered $6 million and he didn't take less because he took $6.5 million."Spacek leaving Edmonton <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> First Chris Pronger leaves Edmonton and now Jaroslav Spacek is packing up and heading out of town.Spacek, who logged over 23 minutes a game and quarterbacked the powerplay told the Edmonton Oliers he won't be re-signing, reports the Edmonton Sun."Jaro is a good player, we were obviously interested in having him back, but we're not going to run out there and immediately make an offer on somebody else because we lost him," assistant GM Scott Howson told the Sun."We were willing to meet the price he was asking for, the money was similar on both sides, but he wanted to go to the other team for one reason or the other," said Howson. "It wasn't a case of he didn't like it here, but when you get to unrestricted and you get to choose your team, a lot of things can come into play. I didn't get the reason why he chose and, to be honest, I'm not very interested in it at this point."</blockquote>
