Taylor Pyatt Rejects Contract Offer?

According to CKNW (via Sportsnet), Taylor Pyatt doesn’t like the looks of the 2-year deal the Canucks have offered him:
CKNW in Vancouver is reporting that the Canucks made a two-year, $2.4 million offer to Pyatt, and were subsequently told it would not be enough to retain the services of the 21-goal scorer. The Pyatt camp is apparently looking for a deal in the Matt Cooke range. Cooke, who has just eight goals, makes $1.5 million per season.
According to reports, Pyatt is also looking for a three-year deal.
I’ve got no issue with MySpace driving a hard bargain; he’s having a good season and perhaps he deserves a few more bucks. But what line has he been scoring on again? Oh right, with the Sedins.
Maybe he’s looking for an Anson Carter -inspired price war for his services, and he can try but it might not get him too far with the Canucks. GM Dave Nonis seems to have the attitude that virtually anyone can pick up points on his Sedin-enhanced top line. And it’s getting tought to argue with that, frankly.
Then again, there’s always the Ryan Kesler Story. If only Bobby Clarke was still negotiating contracts for the Flyers…
Good luck, Pyatt. All things considered, I do hope you stick around.
