The Sedin twins, Henrik and Daniel, have agreed to remain with the Vancouver Canucks, splitting a package worth $61 million, according to a number of sources.

The twins, who were to become unrestricted free agents as of noon today, will earn an average $6.1 million apiece over the next five years.

Tuesday night, the Flames came to terms on a five-year deal with defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, who will earn an average of nearly $6.7 million over the next five years. The Flames acquired Bouwmeester's rights Saturday in Montreal, site of the NHL's amateur draft, in a deal that sent Jordan Leopold and a third-round pick to Florida.
