In an effort to give the team some cap flexibility, Linden is said to be willing to play for the league-minimum of $475,000, plus bonuses.
Before signing a contract with the Canucks, Linden met with Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault to discuss what the his role with the club for the upcoming season. Word has come out that Linden was told “his ice time will be based on merit, awarded on performance.” The long-time Canuck and fan favorite said he would accept his role with the team, whatever that may be.
